Wave processes are intensively studied in various fields of physics: electrodynamics, plasma physics, radiophysics, acoustics, hydrodynamics, etc. Along with the study of electromagnetic and elastic wave processes, the research of patterns of wave propagation of various physical nature in the presence of mutual transformation are of particular relevance. Wave processes in coupled fields reflect the mutual influence of elastic, electromagnetic and thermal fields. The coupling of electromagnetic fields to the deformation field takes place in a medium with piezoelectric, piezomagnetic and magnetostrictive properties. In the paper, based on the matrix method, the propagation of coupled elastic and electromagnetic waves in media with different physical and mechanical properties is studied. The paper proposes a generalization of non-classical contact conditions for studying the effect of thin layers with different physical and mechanical properties on wave processes. A system of differential equations of the 1st order with variable coefficients is constructed, which describe the propagation of electroelastic waves in anisotropic media of a rhombic system of class 222. The conditions for nonrigid contact for a thin layer with piezoelectric properties are derived. The possibility of studying layers with δ-shaped properties (δ is the Dirac function) is proved.
