The elastodynamic Green’s functions for time-harmonic radial and axial ring sources in a homogeneous, isotropic, linear elastic full-space medium are derived using the Fourier-Hankel transform. The Green’s functions are found to have the same logarithmic singularities as the Legendre functions of positive and negative half-degree of the second kind. As the frequency approaches zero, the Green’s functions approach the corresponding elastostatic Green’s functions. The far-field displacement and stress components are also derived.

A procedure is described to generate fundamental solutions or Green’s functions for time harmonic point forces and sources. The linearity of the field equations permits the Green’s function to be represented as an integral over the surface of a unit sphere, where the integrand is the solution of a one-dimensional impulse response problem. The method is demonstrated for the theories of piezoelectricity, thermoelasticity, and poroelasticity. Time domain analogues are discussed and compared with known expressions for anisotropic elasticity.

Two-dimensional anti-plane time-harmonic dynamic Green’s functions for a coated circular inhomogeneity in an infinitely extended matrix with spring- or membrane-type imperfect interfaces are presented. The inhomogeneity, coating and matrix are all assumed to be piezoelectric and transversely isotropic. By using the Bessel function expansions, explicit solutions for the electromechanical fields induced by a time-harmonic anti-plane line force and line charge located in the unbounded matrix, the annular coating and the circular inhomogeneity are derived. The present solutions can recover the anti-plane Green’s functions for some special cases, such as the dynamic or quasi-static Green’s functions of piezoelectricity with perfect interfaces, as well as the dynamic or quasi-static Green’s functions for a two-phase composite with perfect or imperfect interfaces. By means of detailed discussions, selected calculated results are graphically shown to demonstrate the dependence of the electromechanical fields on the circular frequency and the interface properties as well as the coating and size of the inclusion.
