Valley Hall edge solitons in honeycomb lattice with an armchair-type domain wall
Thanks to the topological protection, photonic topological edge states can move along the edges of photonic crystals without radiating into the bulk or reflecting when encountering disorders or defects. The va...

Concentrated force-induced fracture of a multiferroic composite cylinder
Although the cracking problems of multiferroic structures have been widely investigated, concentrated force-induced fracture still remains as an un-fully explored failure mode that has considerable significanc...

Effects of the volume fraction of piezoelectric particles in the magneto-electro-elastic interfacial region on the fracture behavior of a laminate multiferroic plate
Magneto-electro-elastic (MEE) interfacial regions may be formed in multiferroic composites consisting of alternate piezoelectric (PE) and piezomagnetic layers during the hot-pressing process. The existence of ...

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...

Coupled interfacial imperfections and their effects on the fracture behavior of a layered multiferroic cylinder
An interfacial imperfection coupling model is proposed to characterize the imperfect interface in a bi-layered multiferroic cylinder by extending the generalized linear spring model of the uncoupled imperfect ...

Interfacial fracture analysis of a piezoelectric–polythene composite cylindrical shell patch under axial shear
The present work studies the interfacial fracture in a piezoelectric cylindrical shell patch. The problem is solved by the methods of infinite trigonometric series and Cauchy singular integral equation, and th...

Multiple cracks on the interface between a piezoelectric layer and an orthotropic substrate
In the present work, we investigate the problem of multiple cracks on the interface between a piezoelectric layer and an orthotropic substrate. The method of dislocation simulation and singular integral equati...
