An interface inclusion between two dissimilar piezoelectric materials (Q5937705)

This paper is addressed to a static solution of the problem of a dielectric rigid line inclusion at the interface between two bonded half-infinite piezoelectric continua. The two dissimilar continua that are perfectly bonded are subjected to piecewise uniform loads at infinity. The solution is reduced to a Hilbert problem, and then closed-form solutions are obtained for the complex potential in piezoelectric continua, for the electric field inside the inclusion, and for the tip fields near the inclusion. The solution has some practical value, though it is a statical one.
