Significant contributions have been done by several authors for static fracture: works by Wang and Mai (2003, 2004, 2007), Gao et al. (2003a,b, 2004), Tian and Gabbert (2004, 2005) or Li and Kardomateas (2006) should be cited among others. shear stress waves (Zhou and Wang, 2008). Hu and Li (2005) de-rived the analytical solution for an anti-plane Griffith moving crack inside an infinite magnetoelectroelastic medium under the assumption of permeable crack faces and later extended this study to the case of an anti-plane Griffith crack moving at the interface between two dissimilar magnetoelectroelastic media (Hu et al., 2006). Li (2005) investigated the transient response of a magneto-electroelastic medium containing a crack along the poling direc-tion subjected to antiplane mechanical and inplane electric and magnetic impacts. Feng and Su (2006)) analyzed the dynamic anti-plane problem for a functionally gradedmagnetoelectroelasti
