Closed-form solutions are obtained for the Green’s function problems of point forces applied in the interior of a two-phase material consisting of two semi-infinite transversely isotropic elastic media bonded along a plane interface. The interface is parallel to the plane of isotropy of both media. The solutions are applicable to all combinations of elastic constants. The present solution reduces to Sueklo’s expression when the point force is normal to the plane of isotropy and (C11C33)1/2 ≠ C13 + 2C44 for both phases. When the elastic constants of one of the phases are set to zero, the solution can be reduced to the Green’s function for semi-infinite media obtained by Michell, Lekhnitzki, Hu, Shield, and Pan and Chou. The Green’s function solution of Pan and Chou for an infinite transversely isotropic solid can be reproduced from the present expression by setting the elastic constants of both phases to be equal. Finally, the Green’s function for isotropic materials can also be obtained from the present solution by suitable substitution of elastic constants.

A two-dimensional electromechanical analysis is performed on a transversely isotropic piezoelectric material containing a crack based on the impermeable electric boundary condition. By introducing stress function, a general solution is provided in terms of triangle series. It is shown that the stress and electric displacement are all of 1/2 order singularity in front of the crack tip. In addition, the electromechanical fields in the vicinity of the crack when subjected to uniform tensile mechanical load are obtained using boundary collocation method.
