Anti-plane fracture behavior of n nano-cracks emanating from a magnetoelectrically semi-permeable regular n-polygon nano-hole in magnetoelectroelastic materials

Abstract

Based on Gurtin–Murdoch surface/interface model and complex potential theory, by constructing a new conformal mapping function, the fracture behavior on [Formula: see text] nano-cracks emanating from a [Formula: see text]-polygon nano-hole under far-field anti-plane mechanical load, inplane electrical load and magnetic load is studied. The analytical solutions of stress intensity factor, electric displacement intensity factor and magnetic induction intensity factor at the crack tip are given under the boundary conditions of magnetoelectrically semi-permeable. In addition, numerical examples show that when considering the surface effect, the stress field intensity factor, electric displacement intensity factor and magnetic induction intensity factor have obvious size-dependence. The results of this paper show that when the defect size increases to a certain extent, the influence of the surface effect begins to decrease, and finally tends to the results of classical elastic theory.
