Research

  • Computational Mechanics (Solid Mechanics and Materials Engineering)
  • 1. Analysis of intensity of singularity at a vertex in 3D transversely isotropic piezoelectric bonded joints by boundary element method.
    2. Analysis of order of singularity in 3D transversely isotropic piezoelectric and elastic bonded joints by finite element method.
    The Intensity of singularity for the bimaterial joint can be evaluated by the Boundary Element Method (BEM) and the order of the stress singularity for the bimaterial joint can be evaluated by the eigen analysis based on Finete Element Method (FEM). In our present investigation, we use 3D transversery isotropic piezoelectric and elastic bonded structure. The influence of the electric field should be considered for the deformation of the piezoelectric material. We analyze the optimal material combination such that the intensity of singularity and order of the stress singularity can be minimized.
