A model of a prestressed thermoelectroelastic medium under conditions of initial mechanical stress, electrostatic field and temperature is proposed. Within the framework of the coupled theory of thermoelectroelasticity, linearized constitutive relations and equations of motion of a prestressed thermoelectroelastic medium are constructed. It is assumed that the initial deformed state induced in the material is homogeneous, the initial temperature does not exceed the temperature of phase transitions, and the initial electrostatic field is specified by the electric field strength vector. Within the framework of the assumptions made, a three-dimensional formulation of dynamic problems for prestressed semi-bounded media made of the materials under consideration is given. Using operational calculus methods, the problem is reduced to a system of ordinary differential equations, the solution of which is presented in matrix form and allows one to analyze the influence of external factors of various natures on the dynamics of a prestressed thermoelectroelastic medium. Particular attention is paid to a detailed study of the initial deformed state of the material under conditions of separate and combined exposure to mechanical stress, electrostatic field and temperature. The presence of piezo- and pyro-effects, characteristic of the class of pyroelectrics under consideration, is shown: the appearance of electrical induction under the action of mechanical stresses along the axes, and the appearance of electrical induction under thermal influence in the absence of mechanical stresses. The types of mechanical influences leading to maximum values of electrical induction have been established. It is shown that under combined temperature and mechanical influences, mechanical stresses play a decisive role in the nature of the induced deformations. The presence of an initial temperature can either weaken or strengthen the influence of the electrostatic field. With a combined mechanical and electrostatic effect, the presence of an initial electrostatic field of high intensity, depending on its direction, leads to qualitative changes in the nature of the stress-strain state. The research results are presented in dimensionless parameters, presented in the form of graphs and may be of particular interest in the development, design and optimization of pyropiezoelectric materials used in the creation of new micro- and nano-sized devices and devices for general purposes.
