摘要

In this paper, a general solution for dynamic piezothermoelastic problems of transversely isotropic piezoelectric materials is derived. The general solution reduces to solutions for quasi-static problems when inertia terms are disregarded. The present general solution is similar to that proposed by Ashida et al. in form. But, the derivation is more concise and rigorous without integration operation. Thus, it is more convenient for application. Applying this general solution, the static problem of a half-space subjected to axisymmetric heating and quasi-static problem of response of a rectangular plate are studied. Numerical results are presented.
