Abstract
A simple derivation of the body force produced by the applied electric field is given. The governing equations and boundary conditions on the problem of electrostriction with the correct constitutive equations and considering the pondermotive body force and boundary traction are obtained. Given also are the solution of first boundary problem for an infinite plate with an elliptic defect, and the asymptotic expansion of stress near the end of an elliptic defect. The stresses near the end of the major axis have the form of r−1, but the principal part of the electric displacements have the form of r−1/2 if the origin of the local coordinate system is set at the focus point of the ellipse.
