Abstract

By using the method proposed by Ding et al\ the correct fundamental solutions due to unit concentrated forces and concentrated charge are obtained for three di- mensional infinite piezoelectric media. Some discussions concerning these solutions are made to reveal the intrinsic effect of the constants related to piezoelectric medi- a on these solutions. The corresponding fundamental solutions are also given in the case of the material characteristic equation having two equal roots. 1 Introduction The wide use of smart materials and structures in engineering calls great attention to the study of their mechanical behavior. However, the funda- mental solutions, which are the basis for the analyses of thes
