| Abstract: | This paper presents a further development of the Boundary Contour Method (BCM) for half-plane piezoelectric media. Firstly, the divergence free property of the integrand of the half-plane piezoelectric boundary element is proven. Secondly, the boundary contour method formulation is derived and potential functions are obtained by introducing linear shape functions and Green's functions1] for half-plane piezoelectric media. Finally, numerical solutions for illustrative example are compared with exact ones and that of conventional boundary element method (BEM) ones. The numerical results of BCM coincide very well with exact solution, and the feasibility and efficiency of the method are verified. |
