1. Introduction
In this chapter, an example of the application of Hankel transform for solving a fracture
problem will be explained. In discussing axisymmetric problems, it is advantageous to use
polar coordinates, and the Hankel transform method is powerful to solve the general
equations in polar coordinates. A brief account of the Hankel transform will be given. Here
f is a function of r , its transform is indicated by a capital F , J is the th order Bessel
function of the first kind, and the nature of the transformation either by a suffix or by a
characteristic new variable s . It will be assumed without comment that the integrals in
question exist, and that, if necessary, the functions and their derivatives tend to zero as the
variable tends to infinity. The Hankel transform of order > 1 / 2 , H [ f (r )] or F ( s ) , of a
function f (r ) is defined as

H [ f (r )] F (s ) = rJ (sr ) f (r )dr

and its inversion formula is

f ( r ) = sJ (sr )F (s )ds

Also, integrating by parts twice gives

d 2 f 1 df 2

H 2 +
r dr r 2
dr

f = s 2 F (s )

provided that rf ( r ) and rdf (r ) / dr tend to zero as r 0 and as r .

The piezoelectric materials have attracted considerable attention recently. Owing to the
coupling effect between the thermo-elastic and electric fields in piezoelectric materials,
thermo-mechanical disturbances can be determined form measurement of the induced
electric potential, and the ensuing response can be controlled through application of an
appropriate electric field (Rao & Sunar, 1994). For successful and efficient utilization of

piezoelectric as sensors and actuators in intelligent systems, several researches on piezothermo-elastic behavior have been reported (Tauchert, 1992).
Moreover a better understanding of the mechanics of fracture in piezoelectric materials
under thermal load conditions is needed for the requirements of reliability and lifetime of
these systems. Using the Fourier transform, the present author studied the thermally
induced fracture of a piezoelectric strip with a two-dimensional crack (Ueda, 2006a, 2006b).
Here the mixed-mode thermo-electro-mechanical fracture problem for a piezoelectric
material strip with a penny-shaped crack is considered. It is assumed that the strip is under
the thermal loading. The crack faces are supposed to be insulated thermally and electrically.
By using the Hankel transform (Sneddon & Lowengrub, 1969), the thermal and electromechanical problems are reduced to a singular integral equation and a system of singular
integral equations (Erdogan & Wu, 1996), respectively, which are solved numerically (Sih,
1972). Numerical calculations are carried out, and detailed results are presented to illustrate
the influence of the crack size and the crack location on the stress and electric displacement
intensity factors. The temperature, stress and electric displacement distributions are also
presented.

2. Formulation of the problem

Fig. 1. Penny-shaped crack in a piezoelectric strip

A penny-shaped crack of radius c is embedded in an infinite long piezoelectric strip of
thickness h = h1 + h2 as shown in Figure 1. The crack is located parallel to the boundaries
and at an arbitrary position in the strip, and the crack faces are supposed to be insulated
thermally and electrically. The cylindrical coordinate system is denoted by (r , , z) with its
origin at the center of the crack face and the plane r along the crack plane, where z is
the poling axis. It is assumed that uniform temperatures T10 and T20 are maintained over
the stress-free boundaries. In the following, the subscripts r, , z will be used to refer to the
direction of coordinates. The material properties, such as the elastic stiffness constants, the
piezoelectric constants, the dielectric constants, the stress-temperature coefficients, the
coefficients of heat conduction, and the pyroelectric constant, are denoted by c kl , ekl , kk ,
kk ( k, l = 1, 2, 3) , r , z , and pz , respectively.
The constitutive equations for the elastic field are

3. Temperature field
For the problem considered here, it is convenient to represent the temperature as the sum of
two functions.
Ti ( r , z) = T (1) ( z) + Ti(2) ( r , z) ( i = 1, 2)

(11)

where T (1) ( z) satisfies the following equation and boundary conditions:

(12)

T (1) ( h1 ) = T10 ,

T (1) ( h2 ) = T20

(13)

and Ti(2) ( r , z) (i = 1, 2) is subjected to the relations:

(2)

T1 (r , 0) = T2 (r , 0), (0 r < )

T2(2) (r , h2 ) = 0

It is easy to find from Eqs.(12) and (13) that

T (1) ( z) =

1
{(T10 T20 ) z + T10 h2 + T20 h1}
h1 + h2

(17)

By applying the Hankel transform to Eq.(14) (Sneddon & Lowengrub, 1969), we have

Ti(2) ( r, z) = Dij (s) J 0 ( sr )exp(s ij z)ds (i = 1, 2)

j =1

(18)

where Dij ( s) (i, j = 1, 2) are unknown functions to be solved and ij (i, j = 1, 2) are given by

11 = 22 = ,

12 = 21 =

(19)

Taking the second boundary condition (15) into consideration, the problem may be reduced
to a singular integral equation by defining the following new unknown function G0 (r )
(Erdogan & Wu, 1996):

(2)
T (r , 0) T2(2) (r , 0)

G0 (r ) = r 1

(0 r < c )

(c r < )

(20)

Making use of the first boundary condition (15) with Eqs.(16), we have the following
singular integral equation for the determination of the unknown function G0 (t ) :

0t {M0

(1)

(t, r ) + M0(2) (t, r ) G0 (t )dt =

2 T10 T20

(0 r < c )

(21)

In Eq.(21), the kernel functions M0(1) (t, r ) and M0(2) (t, r ) are given by

0 (s ) = 2 ( s){1 exp( 2 s h1 )} 1 (s ){1 exp( 2s h2 )} ,

i (s ) = i 1 i 2 exp( 2 s hi ) (i = 1, 2)

(24)

Once G0 (t ) is obtained from Eq.(21), the temperature field can be easily calculated as
follows:
Ti(2) ( r, z) = Tij(2) (r , z) (i = 1, 2)
2

j =1

where

Tij(2) ( r, z) = Rij (s)R0 (s ) J 0 (sr )exp( s ij z)ds (i, j = 1, 2)

(27)

On the plane z = 0 , the temperatures Ti(2) (r , 0) (i = 1, 2) are reduced to

Ti(2) (r , 0) =

4. Thermally induced elastic and electric fields

The non-disturbed temperature filed T (1) ( z) given by Eq.(17) does not induce the stress and
electric displacement components, which affect the singular field. Thus, we consider the
elastic and electric fields due to the disturbed temperature distribution Ti(2) ( r , z ) (i = 1, 2)
only. It is convenient to represent the solutions uzi (r , z ) , uri (r , z ) and i (r , z ) (i = 1, 2) as the
sum of two functions, respectively.
(2)

uzi (r , z) = u(1)
zi ( r , z ) + uzi ( r , z ),

uri (r , z) = uri(1) (r , z) + uri(2) (r , z), (i = 1, 2)

i (r , z) = i(1) ( r, z) + i(2) (r , z)

(29)

(1)
(1)
where u(1)
zi ( r , z ) , uri ( r , z ) , i ( r , z ) ( i = 1, 2) are the particular solutions of Eqs.(4) replaced
(2)
(2)
Ti by Ti , and uzi (r , z) , uri(2) (r , z) , i(2) (r , z) (i = 1, 2) are the general solutions of

homogeneous equations obtained by setting Ti = 0 (i = 1, 2) in Eqs.(4). In the following, the

superscripts (1) and (2) indicate the particular and general solutions of Eqs.(4).
Substituting Eqs.(29) into Eqs.(1) and (2), one obtains stress rri (r , z ) , i (r , z ) , zzi (r , z ) ,
zri (r , z ) and electric displacement Dri (r , z) , Dzi (r , z) (i = 1, 2) expressions.
Using the displacement potential function method (Ueda, 2006a), the particular solutions
can be obtained as follows:

Similar to the temperature analysis, the problem may be reduced to a system of singular

5. Numerical results and discussion

For the numerical calculations, the thermo-electro-elastic properties of the plate are assumed
to be ones of cadmium selenide with the following properties (Ashida & Tauchert, 1998).
The values of the coefficients of heat conduction for cadmium selenide could not be found in
the literature. Since the values of them for orthotropic Alumina (Al2O3) are
r = 21.25[W/mK] and z = 29.82[W/mK] (Dag, 2006), the value 2 = r / z = 1 / 1.5 is
assumed. To examine the effects of the normalized crack size c / h and the normalized crack

location h1 / h on the stress and electric displacement intensity factors, the solutions of the
system of the singular integral equations have been computed numerically.

In the first set of calculations, we consider the temperature field and the electro-elastic fields
without crack. Figure 2 shows the normalized temperature (Ti ( x ) T20 ) / T0 (i = 1, 2) on the
crack faces (0 r < c, z 0 ) and the crack extended line (c r 2c, z = 0) for h1 / h = 0.25
and c / h = 0.5 , where T0 = T10 T20 . The maximum local temperature difference across the
crack occurs at the center of the crack.
Figure 3 exhibits the normalized stress components ( zz0 (r ), zr 0 (r )) / 33T0 and the electric
displacement component Dz 0 (r ) / pzT0 on the r -axis in the strip without crack due to the
temperature shown in Figure 2. The maximum absolute values of zz 0 (r ) and Dz 0 (r ) occur
at the center of the crack (r / c = 0.0) , whereas the maximum value of zr 0 (r ) occurs at the

0.75 monotonically increases with increasing c / h , but the value of K II / 33T0 ( c )1 / 2 and the
1

absolute value of K D / pzT0 ( c )1 / 2 increase at first, reach maximum values and then decrease

with increasing c / h . The value of K I for h1 / h = 0.75 becomes negative so that the contact

of the crack faces would occur. The results presented here without considering this effect
may not be exact but would be more conservative. Since the contact of the crack faces will
increase the friction between the faces and make thermo-electrical transfer across the crack
faces easier, the stress and electric displacement intensity factors would be lowered by these
two factors.
In the final set of calculations, we investigate the influence of the crack location on the
intensity factors. Figure 5 indicates the effect of the crack location on K I , K II and K D for
c / h = 0.5 . As h1 / h increases, the values of K I and K D tend to decrease or increase
monotonically. The value of K II / 33T0 ( c )1 / 2 decreases if the crack approaches the free
boundaries ( h1 / h 0.0 or 1.0) , and the peak value of K II / 33T0 ( c )1 / 2 =0.0277 occurs at
h1 / h = 0.5 .

6. Conclusion
An example of the application of Hankel transform for solving a mixed-mode thermoelectro-elastic fracture problem of a piezoelectric material strip with a parallel penny-shaped
crack is explained. The effects of the crack size (c / h ) and the crack location ( h1 / h ) on the
fracture behavior are analyzed. The following facts can be found from the numerical results.
1.
2.

The large shear stress occurs in the strip without crack due to the disturbed temperature
field.
The normalized intensity factors are under the great influence of the geometric
parameters h1 / h and c / h .

For the case of h1 / h > 0.5 , mode I stress intensity factor becomes negative so that the
contact of the crack faces would occur.
The intensity factors of crack near the free surfaces due to the thermal load are not so
large.

The field of material analysis has seen explosive growth during the past decades. Almost all the textbooks on
materials analysis have a section devoted to the Fourier transform theory. For this reason, the book focuses
on the material analysis based on Fourier transform theory. The book chapters are related to FTIR and the
other methods used for analyzing different types of materials. It is hoped that this book will provide the
background, reference and incentive to encourage further research and results in this area as well as provide
tools for practical applications. It provides an applications-oriented approach to materials analysis written
primarily for physicist, Chemists, Agriculturalists, Electrical Engineers, Mechanical Engineers, Signal
Processing Engineers, and the Academic Researchers and for the Graduate Students who will also find it
useful as a reference for their research activities.
