We consider the existence of finite deformations for soft materials and the possibility of electric currents, temperature gradients, and internal heat generation due to dissipation. Starting with Maxwell’s equations of electromagnetism and balance laws of nonlinear elasticity, we present the governing equations and boundary conditions in incremental form in order to solve wave propagation problems of boundary value type.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={On the general governing equations of electromagnetic acoustic transducers}, URL={http://www.czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/84726/PDF/05_paper.pdf}, doi={10.2478/meceng-2013-0015}, keywords={EMAT, nonlinear magnetoelasticity, nonlinear electroelasticity, electromechanical coupling, wave propagation}, }
