Abstract
A basic solution to the problem of three collinear equal cracks in a transversely isotropic piezoelectric material plate is obtained under the influence of electromechanical forces. Stroh formalism and complex variable methods are used to derive the mathematical expressions for SIF (stress intensity factor), COD (crack opening displacement), and COP (crack opening potential). The length of the saturation zones is investigated at each crack tip under the influence of quadratically varying electric displacement. Furthermore, a numerical study is carried out to discuss the effect of quadratically varying electrical potential on the saturation zone, COD, and COP. The results obtained numerically are reported graphically.
