N2 - This paper presents a numerical model for three-dimensional transversely isotropic bimaterials based on the boundary element formulation. The point force solutions expressed in a united-form for distinct eigenvalues are studied for transversely isotropic piezoelectricity and pure elasticity. A boundary integral formulation is implemented for the modeling of two-phase materials. In this study, the stress distributions are computed for a near interface flaw. The influences of the shape and location of the flaw on the the stress concentration are examined. The accuracy of the numerical procedures is validated through selected example problems and comparison studies.
