The behaviour of the anti-plane local fields of a two-phase piezo-composite made of a fibre embedded in an infinite matrix, and in perfect contact with it, is studied. Both constituents belong to the 622 crystal symmetry class. A solution for the case of a far-field in-plane electrical load and a far-field anti-plane mechanical load is presented. The limit cases are analysed, whereas the results validation is made through comparisons with semi-analytical results derived from the application of complex variable methods to the solution of the local problems that arise from the application of the asymptotic homogenization method to the related problem of periodic distributions of fibres with small cross-section area. These results could be useful in bone mechanics applications. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
