Fracture assessment of an interface crack between two dissimilar magnetoelectroelastic materials under heat flow and magnetoelectromechanical loadings

A magnetoelectrically permeable interface crack between two semi-infinite mag-netoelectroelastic planes under the action of a heat flow and remote magnetoelectromechanical loadings is considered, where the assumption of frictionless contact between two dissimilar half-planes is adopted. Not only the solutions of the interface crack problem are presented in an explicit form, but also the general condition for the transition from a perfect thermal contact of two mag-netoelectroelastic bodies to their separation is given.
