abstract = {<p style="text-align: justify;">A problem of two equal, semi-permeable, collinear cracks, situated normal
to the edges of an infinitely long piezoelectric strip is considered. Piezoelectric strip
being prescribed out-of-plane shear stress and in-plane electric-displacement. The
Fourier series and integral equation methods are adopted to obtain analytical solution
of the problem. Closed-form analytic expressions are derived for various fracture
parameters viz. crack-sliding displacement, crack opening potential drop, field intensity
factors and energy release rate. An numerical case study is considered for poled
PZT−5H, $BaTiO_3$ and PZT−6B piezoelectric ceramics to study the effect of applied
electro-mechanical loadings, crack-face boundary conditions as well as inter-crack distance
on fracture parameters. The obtained results are presented graphically, discussed
and concluded.</p>},
