A general solution and the application of space axisymmetric problem in piezoelectric material (Q1339101)

The authors present the general solution for the system of equations governing the axisymmetric problems for linearly piezoelectro-elastic transversely isotropic media, in which the mechanical displacement components and the electric potential are expressed in terms of a single scalar function. This is achieved step by step. Two specific problems are treated as applications of the introduced method: (i) a half-space on the boundary of which a circular area is acted upon by a normal distributed force; (ii) the same problem as in (i) with a normal concentrated force acting at a point on the boundary.
