    Abstract

    A problem for an interface crack located in a layered magnetoelectroelastic material strip of semi-infinite length is solved. A closed-form solution is obtained for anti-plane mechanical and in-plane electric and magnetic fields. Explicit expressions for stresses and electric and magnetic fields, together with their intensity factors and the energy release rate, are obtained. The extreme cases of impermeable and permeable cracks are discussed. Using the basic solution for a single crack, solutions for two collinear interface cracks in an infinitely long layered magnetoelectroelastic medium, an interface crack in an infinitely long layered magnetoelectroelastic medium, and an edge crack at the interface of a semi-infinitely long layered magnetoelectroelastic medium are also obtained.
