Abstract

Considering the piezoelectric effect, the electro-elastic field of an infinite one-dimensional quasicrystal medium with two circular cylindrical inclusions is derived under antiplane shear and inplane electric loading. The boundary value problem of the composite material with circular cylindrical inclusions is analytically solved by the use of the conformal mapping technique and analytical continuation theory. The stresses in the phonon and phason fields and the electric displacements are obtained explicitly in the form of a power series both for the matrix and the inclusions. Some typical examples are analyzed to show the effect of the geometric parameters, material properties, and electro-mechanical loading on the electro-elastic fields in the matrix, inclusions, and interfaces. The limiting cases of circular cavities and rigid circular inclusions have also been investigated and discussed.
