Abstract.Considering the influence of the domain switching near the tip of a crack and applying the idea of multiscale singularity fields in piezoelectric fracture, we have obtained an empirical criterion for the crack closure. Based on the domain switching in the electric yield region, referring to Yang's results on the small scale yield model for the electrical fatigue crack, a model of the crack...
