Abstract:
The universal expressions have been obtained for components of the tensor Green's function of an elastically anisotropic hexagonal medium. In contrast to the classical expressions (the Lifshitz–Rosenzweig method), they do not contain uncertainties of the type 0/0 upon the transition to the isotropic approximation and hold true for any hexagonal crystal. As an example of their use, the displacement and strain fields created by an edge dislocation loop lying in the basal plane of the crystal have been calculated.
