Chapter Chapter 2 in Special Topics in the Theory of Piezoelectricity, 2009, pp 13-46 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Coupling between mechanical and electric fields has stimulated interesting research related to the microelectromechanical system [1, 2]. The major applications are in sensor and actuator devices by which an electric voltage can induce an elastic deformation and vice versa. Because many novel materials, such as the nitride group semiconductors, are piezoelectric, study on quantum nanostructures is currently a cutting-edge topic with the strain energy band engineering in the center [3, 4]. Novel laminated composites (with adaptive and smart components) are continuously attracting great attention from mechanical, aerospace, and civil engineering branches [5]. In materials property study, the Eshelby-based micromechanics theory has been very popular [6]. In most of these exciting research topics, the fundamental solution of a given system under a unit concentrated force/charge or simply the Green’s function solution is required. This motivates the writing of this chapter. In this chapter, however, only the static case with general anisotropic piezoelectricity is considered, even though a couple of closely related references on vibration and/or dynamics (time-harmonic) wave propagation are briefly reviewed.
