transmission and reflection of waves on rough interfaces [5-7]; mechanical problems concerning the plates with densely spaced stiffeners [8]; the flows over rough walls [9]; nearly circular hole, inclusion problems in plane elasticity and thermoelasticily [10-12]; and so on When the amplitude (height) of the roughness is much small in comparison with its period (see, for example, Ref [12]), the problems are usually analyzed by perturbation methods [13] When the amplitude is much large than its period, i.e., the boundaries and interfaces are very rough (see, for instance, Refs [14,15]), the homogenization method [16-18] is required, in which the very rough boundaries or interfaces are replaced with equivalent layers within which homogenized equations hold (see Ref [15]) The main aim of the homogenization of very rough boundaries or interfaces is to determine these homogenized equations Nevard and Keller [15] examined the homogenization of very rough three-dimensional interfaces separating two linear anisotropic solids The authors have derived the homogenized equations, but these equations are still implicit In particular, their coefficients are the solution of a boundary-value problem on the periodic cell (called "cell problem"), which includes 27 partial differential equations This problem can, in general, only be solved numerically Recently, Vinh and Tung [19] considered the homogenization of two-dimensional very rough interfaces separating two isotropic linear elastic solids, and they have derived the explicit homogenized equations, by using the standard techniques of the homogenization method along with the matrix formulation In this paper, following the procedure carried out in Ref [19], we have derived the explicit homogenized equation in the matrix form for the case of generally anisotropic materials Then, it is written down in the component form for the specific cases when the materials are orthotropic, and monoclinic with the symmetry plane at X|=0 and X2=0 Since these equations are in explicit Corresponding author Contributed by the Applied Mechanics Division of ASME for publication in the JOURNAL OF APPI.IKD MKCHANICS Manu.script received Augu.st 2010;
