摘要
A generally exact theory for predicting the effec-tive behavior of coupled linear-response for inhomogeneous me-dia is developed. The general solutions for the coupled problems of two fields and three fields are given. The applications of the theory in the magnetic-electric (.magnetoelectricity) properties and the thermal-electric-mechanical properties (thermoelasti-city, piezoelectricity, and pyroelectricity) are discussed. The firstorder approximations of the thermal-electric-mechanical properties of binary transversely isotropic composites are de-rived.
