Abstract
The mode III crack problem in a medium possessing coupled electro-magneto-elastic is considered. Two asymmetrical edge cracks emanate from an elliptical hole. Combined stress, electric and magnetic loads are considered. The elliptical hole and cracks are assumed to be either magneto-electrically impermeable or permeable. The closed-form solution for stress, electric and magnetic intensity factors are derived explicitly. Also the solution for energy release rate is given in closed form. The solution is based on the complex variable method combined with the method of conformal mapping. Numerical computations are given to illustrate the effect of variable geometrical and material parameters on stress, electric and magnetic intensity factors and energy release rate.
