Abstract
The present paper addresses the continuum model describing deformation electroelastic materials by using the generalized Eshelby principle. The energy method is based on the principle of equivalence of the deformation energy of fractured piezoelectric materials and the energy of medium, which is modeling these materials as a continuous medium. The key point of this approach is to determine the densities of the released elastic and electric energy.
