Electric viscoelasticity problem for multi-connected plates (Q2808440)

The paper deals with a method for solving the problem of electro-viscoelasticity for multi-connected plates. The small parameter method is applied to reduce the problem to a recurrent sequence of electro-viscoelasticity problems solved by means of complex potentials. A procedure is developed for determining by complex potentials the approximations of main characteristics of electroelastic state (stresses, components of induction and electric field intensity vectors) at any time after the load application. As an example, the solution of the problem for a plate with an elliptic hole is considered. Numerical studies reveal a significant effect of time on the values of basic characteristics of electro-viscoelastic state.
