dcterms.abstractThe analytical solution of an elliptic dielectric cavity in an infinite dielectric plate is taken as basis to investigate a Griffith crack problem which is obtained by letting the semi-minor axis tend towards zero. In the course of this, an erroneous conformal mapping, commonly employed in literature and correctly reproducing the electric field only in a part of the physical space, is rectified. Interpreting the elliptic interface as faces of a mechanically opened crack which is exposed to an oblique remote electric field, surface charges and electrostatic tractions are calculated. In contrast to the established capacitor analogy model, approximately yielding electric charge densities and Coulombic tractions from displacements and electric potentials in the undeformed crack configuration, the work at hand provides exact solutions accounting for different implications of the crack curvature and for the inclination of the electric field. Crack weight functions are finally used to calculate stress and electric displacement intensity factors. As turns out, the surface charges of the capacitor analogy represent an excellent substitute for the exact electric boundary conditions within a relevant range of parameters, whereas inaccurate Coulombic tractions in the vicinity of crack tips may lead to a significantly overestimated mode I stress intensity factor.eng
