Abstract A formulation for two-dimensional self-similar anisotropic elastodyamics problems is generalized to piezoelectric materials. In the formulation the general solution of the displacements is expressed in terms of the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of a related eight-dimensional eigenvalue problem. The present formulation can be used to derive analytic solutions directly without the need of performing integral transforms as required in Cagniard-de Hoop method. The method is applied to derive explicit dynamic Green's functions. Some analytic results for hexagonal 6mm materials are also derived. Numerical examples for the quartz are illustrated. More >
