General solutions for special orthotropic piezoelectric media

This paper presents the forms of the general solution for general anisotropic piezoelectric media starting from the basic equations of piezoelasticity by using the operator method introduced by Lur’e (1964), and gives the analytical form of the general solution for special orthotropic piezoelectric media. This paper uses the non-uniqueness of the general solution to obtain the generalized LHN solution and the generalized E-L solution for special orthotropic piezoelectric media. When the special orthotropic piezoelectric media degenerate to transversely piezoelectric media, the solution given by this paper degenerates to the solution for transversely isotropic piezoelectric media accordingly, so that this paper generalized the results in transversely isotropic piezoelectric media.
