Summary Piezoelastic materials entail piezoelectric polarization that is directly proportional to the applied strain. Therefore, piezoelastic materials have recently attracted considerable attention because of their potential use in intelligent structural systems. In this paper, we treat a transient problem of piezothermoelasticity in a hexagonal plate of class 6 mm subjected to transient temperature change. We analyze the transient problem by use of the potential function method, which can separate the coupling between the thermoelastic and electric fields. Numerical calculations for the transient problem are carried out for a cadmium selenide solid, and the results are presented graphically in comparison with those for a steady problem.
