Abstract.

In this paper, we derive three-dimensional Green's functions in anisotropic magneto-electro-elastic full space, half space, and bimaterials based on the extended Stroh formalism. While in the full space, the Green's functions are obtained in an explicit form, those in the half space and bimaterials are expressed as a sum of the full-space Green's function and a Mindlin- type complementary part, with the latter being evaluated in terms of a regular line integral over \([0, \pi]\). Despite the complexity involved, the current Green's function expressions are surprisingly simple. Furthermore, the piezoelectric, piezomagnetic, and purely elastic Green's functions can all be obtained from the current Green's functions by setting simply the appropriate material coefficients to zero. A special material case, to which the extended Stroh formalism cannot be applied directly, has also been identified.¶Simple numerical examples are presented for Green's functions in full space, half space, and bimaterials with fully coupled and uncoupled anisotropic magneto-electro-elastic material properties.For given material properties and fixed source and field points, the effect of magneto-electro-elastic coupling on the Green's function is discussed. In particular, we observed that magneto-electro-elastic coupling could significantly alter the magnitude of certain Green's displacement and stress components, with difference as high as 45% being noticed. This result is remarkable and should be of great interest in the material analysis and design.
