In this study, the effects of the Maxwell stress on the interfacial crack between two dissimilar piezoelectric solids are investigated. With the Stroh form and Muskhelishvili theory, the explicit expressions of generalized stresses are presented and the closed forms of the stress and electric displacement intensity factors are derived. Results show that the generalized stress field has singularities and oscillatory properties near the crack tip and the Maxwell stress has influences on the fracture characteristics. For the piezoelectric composites with the Maxwell stress, the normalized stress intensity factor KI* can be changed by both the remote stress and electric load. Such phenomenon cannot be found for the piezoelectric system without the Maxwell stress. Furthermore, the electric displacement intensity factor is more sensitive to the electric load than that to the remote stress.
