• Resumen

  • This paper develops integral equations and boundary element method for determination of 2D electro-elastic state of solids containing cracks, thin voids and inclusions. It proves that stress and electric displacement field near the tip of thin inhomogeneity possesses square root singularity. Thus, for determination of electromechanical fields near thin defects new special base functions are introduced. The interpolation quadratures along with the polynomial transformations are adopted for efficient numerical evaluation of singular and hypersingular integrals. Presented numerical examples show high efficiency and accuracy of the proposed approach.
