Abstract

Two-dimensional anti-plane time-harmonic dynamic Green’s functions for a coated circular inhomogeneity in an infinitely extended matrix with spring- or membrane-type imperfect interfaces are presented. The inhomogeneity, coating and matrix are all assumed to be piezoelectric and transversely isotropic. By using the Bessel function expansions, explicit solutions for the electromechanical fields induced by a time-harmonic anti-plane line force and line charge located in the unbounded matrix, the annular coating and the circular inhomogeneity are derived. The present solutions can recover the anti-plane Green’s functions for some special cases, such as the dynamic or quasi-static Green’s functions of piezoelectricity with perfect interfaces, as well as the dynamic or quasi-static Green’s functions for a two-phase composite with perfect or imperfect interfaces. By means of detailed discussions, selected calculated results are graphically shown to demonstrate the dependence of the electromechanical fields on the circular frequency and the interface properties as well as the coating and size of the inclusion.
