Abstract: The band structures of shear horizontal (SH) waves in a periodically corrugated piezoelectric plate (PCPP) are studied by using the supercell plane wave expansion (SCPWE) method. The effect of plate symmetry on the defect ...

Abstract: The control of band structures of 2D phononic crystals (PCs) composed of piezoelectric inclusions and elastic isotropic matrix with mechanical/electrical biasing fields is theoretically investigated. The theory for small ...

Abstract: By virtue of the separation of variables technique, the spherically symmetric electroelastic dynamic problem of a spherically isotropic hollow sphere is transformed to an integral equation about a function with respect to ...

Abstract: In this paper, an inertiabased stabilizing method is proposed to overcome the loss of numerical convergence in quasistatic simulations of fracture problems with unstable (fast or dynamic) crack propagation. The method ...
