摘要

Dynamic problems of quasicrystals are analysed within the framework of continuum mechanics. Phonon excitations yield wave propagation while phason excitations yield atomic diffusion. Phonon fields obey the equations of motion and phason fields obey the diffusion equations. Governing equations of elasto-hydrodynamics of decagonal quasicrystals combine characteristics of the equations of motion and diffusion. A general solution is derived in terms of two introduced auxiliary functions. It provides an easy-to-use approach to solve initial-boundary value problems encountered in elasticity problems for quasicrystals. Explicit expressions for displacements and stresses in the phonon and phason fields can be directly obtained. A derived general solution is also applicable to some planar quasicrystals such as pentagonal quasicrystals with fivefold symmetry.
