Multiple parallel cracks in a magnetoelectroelastic strip under in-plane magnetic/electric field and clam**-induced antiplane pre-deformation
Many magnetoelectroelastic devices are mechanically clamped during service, and the clam** may lead to pre-deformation, which will in return affect the magnetoelectroelastic behavior. In the present paper, a...
