Mixed mode analysis of multiple cracks in magneto-electro-elastic plane

In this paper, the mixed mode problem for a magneto-electro-elastic (MEE) material containing multiple cracks under in-plane magneto-electro-mechanical loads is analyzed. First, the solution to an generalized dislocation is obtained in the infinite MEE plane. The Fourier transform is employed to derive closed-form expressions for the stress, electric displacement and magnetic induction components. The solution to the problem is consequently...
