Magnetoelectroelastic analysis for an opening crack in a piezoelectromagnetic solid

Magnetoelectroelastic analysis of a cracked piezoelectromagnetic solid is made within the framework of the theory of linear magnetoelectroelasticity. The associated mixed boundary-value problem is solved by the Fourier integral transform. For general electromagnetic crack-face boundary conditions, a full magnetoelectroelastic field in the entire plane induced by a crack is obtained explicitly, and field intensity factors and energy release rate are given. The influences of applied electric and magnetic loadings on the energy release rate, the strain intensity factor, and the stress distribution are presented graphically.
