摘要：We present an element-free Galerkin method for electromechanical coupled fracture analysis in piezoelectric materials. Singularity terms were introduced into the approximation function of the new method to describe the displacement and electric fields near the crack. The new method requires a smaller domain to describe the crack-tip singular field compared with the finite element method. Then, we computed the J-integrals of piezoelectric materials and investigated the effects of crack length on the computational precision. Numerical examples were used to highlight the accuracy of the new method compared with the analytical solutions and finite element method.
