Static and dynamic coupled fields in bodies with piezoeffects or polarization gradient. (Q2491989)

This monograph is divided into two parts, each with five chapters. Two hundred references allow to track all considered issues in the literature. Part I: Two types of electro-elastic coupling and their role in properties of line defects in unbounded anisotropic media. This part is devoted to the presentation of fundamental concepts and equations of linear piezoelectricity and piezomagnetism, as well as to various applications. In Chapter 1, the author considers electro- and magneto-mechanical couplings due to piezoeffects. A reciprocity theorem is established. In Chapter 2, models with electro-mechanical coupling through polarization gradient are considered. Mindlin's theory for piezoelectricity is discussed to include the polarization gradient as an additional thermodynamical variable, and alternative forms for the constitutive relations and equations of motion are presented. Some special models of wave propagation for isotropic and centrosymmetric media are discussed, and thermal effects are considered. Chapter 3 is devoted to an application in the theory of dislocations for generalized four-dimensional dislocations in arbitrary piezoelectric bodies and for unrestricted anisotropy. The combined electro-elastic line defect is formally described by a generalized Burgers vector having the fourth component in the form of Laplacian of electric potential. Straight four-dimensional dislocations are investigated. In Chapter 4, the reversible plastic deformation accompanying the thermo-electro-elastic fields is examined, in particular the temperature distribution around a moving edge straight dislocation in an infinite medium of cubic or isotropic symmetry. Chapter 5 considers extensions of the dislocation theory to materials with polarization gradient. Part II: One- and two-dimensional electro-elastic coupled fields in media with surfaces and interfaces. This part is devoted to static and dynamic thermo-electro-elastic fields in media with surfaces and interfaces, the first four chapters dealing exclusively with static problems. In Chapter 6, the author considers a series of one-dimensional problems for electroelastic fields in dielectrics with polarization gradient coupling and having a thermal inclusion in different settings: an infinite dielectric with plane thermal inclusion, a half-infinite dielectric with surface thermal inclusion, a dielectric strip with thermal inclusion in the middle or on the surface, and an infinite dielectric with cylindrical thermal inclusion. Chapters 7 and 8 deal with two-dimensional electroelastic fields in arbitrary anisotropic piezoelectric plates with line sources in the bulk or at the surfaces, under different boundary conditions. Green's functions are derived which describe coupled fields produced by arbitrary two-dimensional distributions of dislocations, mechanical forces, electric potentials and electric charges. In Chapter 9, the author considers the more realistic situation of a dielectric strip of unrestricted anisotropy between two substrates. The final Chapter 10 is devoted to the presentation of new resonance methods of excitation of magneto-elastic analogue of SH surface Bleustein-Gulyaev waves and/or of the waveguide SH modes in a piezoelectric plate.
