	Abstract

Green's functions play an important role in electroelastic analyses of piezoelectric media. However, most works available on this topic are on the case of identical temperature. Based on the compact general solution of transversely isotropic piezothermoelectric media, which is expressed in harmonic functions, and employing the trial-and-error method, the three-dimensional Green's function for a steady point heat source in a two-phase piezothermoelectric media is presented by eight newly induced harmonic functions. Numerical results are given graphically by contours.

Key Words: Green's function, two-phase, transversely isotropic, piezothermoelastic.
