✦ Synopsis

The problem of two collinear cracks of equal length and normal to the strip boundaries in an infinitely long piezoelectric strip of finite width is analyzed. By using the Fourier series method, the mixed boundary value problem is reduced to triple series equations, which are then transformed to a singular integral equation. For four combined cases of uniform antiplane shear and uniform inplane electric loading at infinity, the solution is obtained in closed-form, and explicit expressions for the electroelastic field are determined. The formulae for calculating the intensity factors of the electroelastic field and the energy release rate at the inner and outer crack tips are given, respectively. Some special cases for the electroelastic field intensity factors and the energy release rate of the present results are discussed.
