Fig. 3. Matching the outer solution ,⋅ and the inner solution ,⋅ , where a dot in the upper index means or . The traction vector ,⋅ of the outer solution is still valid at the distance 0 from the fictitious tip of the outer crack. On the other hand, the Cauchy type stresses in the total stress vector ,⋅ of the inner solution prevails with respect to the remaining higher-order stresses at the distance = 0 −1 from the true tip of the crack. Consequently, the scaling-up of the inner domain allows both solutions to be matched along these boundaries. The important role of the parameter 0 is obvious from expressions (25) and (26). The parameter 0 is known as the boundary layer in the matched asymptotic expansion analysis. The path independency of the -integral allows the parameter 0 to be fixed by comparing the classical elasticity J -integral and the gradient elasticity J -integral. The expression of the -integral for loading modes I and II of the flexoelectric material with the crack obeying the conducting and insulating boundary conditions, respectively, can be found in (Mao & Purohit, 2015) and written as
