✦ Synopsis

By using Stroh's formalism, simple explicit compact expressions of Green's functions for a piezoelectric semi-infinite body, with a fixed conductor surface electrode, subject to a singularity (i.e., a generalized line dislocation and a generalized line force at a point z ° ) are presented. Coulomb forces acted on the free line charge at z ° due to the boundary polarization charges of the medium and the induction charges of the conductor together with the electromechanical coupling effects inside the region are analyzed in detail. The obtained results are valid not only for plane and antiplane problems but also for the coupled problems between inplane and outplane deformations.
