Abstract
Below we shall consider media with piezoeffects (Le., electromechanical or magnetomechanical coupling), where the elastic distortions create electric or magnetic fields and, vise versa, electric or magnetic polarizations course in the same points the proportional elastic deformations. The basic properties of such media and their thermodynamics are described in many monograph publications (see, e.g., [3–16]). In this chapter we shall limit ourselves only to a very brief survey of basic features of linear electro-elastic and magneto-elastic coupling effects that will be necessary for derivations in the other parts of the book.
