    Abstract

    An analytical solution is presented to study the singularity behavior of electroelastic fields in a wedge with angularly graded piezoelectric material (AGPM) and under anti-plane deformation. The analysis is based on the mixed-variable state space formulation developed in this paper. The characteristic equation containing the singular order is derived using the method of variable separation. The results presented demonstrate the effects of the angular variation of material properties on the singularities of the AGPM wedge systems. The analysis indicates that the material inhomogeneity degree η can be used to control the singularities of AGPM wedge systems.
