Electrostatic body forces in cracked dielectrics and their implication on Maxwell stress tensors
Abstract
In solid mechanics, Maxwell stresses are known to be induced if a body is exposed to magnetic and, in the case of dielectrics, electric fields. Acting as tractions at outer or inner surfaces as well as volume forces, they are superimposed with tractions and stresses due to mechanical loads and provide a more or less significant contribution, depending on loading, material properties and geometric aspects. The Maxwell stress tensor, constituting the physical and mathematical basis, however, is controversially discussed to date. Several formulations are known, most of them having been suggested more than 100 years ago. Being equivalent in vacuum, they differ qualitatively just as quantitatively in solid or fluidic matter. In particular, the dissimilar effect of body forces, emanating from a choice of established Maxwell stress tensor approaches, on crack tip loading in dielectric solids is investigated theoretically in this paper. Due to the singularity of fields involved, their impact is basically non-negligible compared to external mechanical loading. The findings obtained indicate that fracture mechanics could be the basis of an experimental validation of Maxwell stress tensors.
