Green's functions for transversely isotropic magnetoelectroelastic media

Based on the governing equations of transversely isotropic magnetoelectroelastic media, four general solutions on the cases of distinct eigenvalues and multiple eigenvalues are given and expressed in five mono-harmonic displacement functions. Then, based on these general solutions, employing the trial-and-error method, the three-dimensional Green's functions of infinite, two-phase and semi-infinite magnetoelectroelastic media under point forces, point charge and magnetic monopole are all presented in terms of elementary functions for all cases of distinct eigenvalues and multiple eigenvalues. Numerical results are also presented. (c) 2005 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
