GENERALIZED GREEN'S FUNCTIONS OF SURFACE EXCITATION OF ELASTIC WAVE FIELDS IN A PIEZOELECTRIC HALF-SPACE

Since the generalized Green’s functions,which correspond to surface excitation of elastic wavefields in a half-space of piezoelectric crystal,are independent of excitation conditions and only depen-dent on material parameters and orientation,they can be investigated in advance and independently. It is shown that the generalized Green’s functions can be written as a sum of three parts repre-senting separately a surface wave,a bulk wave and an electrostatic effect. We also confirm that the surface wave part and the bulk wave part at the far field of the generalizedGreen’s functions can be expressed by analytical expressions,and thus,the surface wave field and thefar field of bulk wave among the excited elastic wave fields can be evaluated exactly. Finally,as an example,the generalized Green’s functions for the 6 mm crystal are given.
