Explicit analytical solutions to electroelastic problems for an infinite transversely isotropic medium with a tunnel elliptic inclusion are constructed. At a sufficient distance from the inclusion, the medium is subjected to pure shear or pure bending. It is assumed that the medium and inclusion are dissimilar piezoceramic materials whose axes of symmetry coincide with each other and with the minor axis of the ellipse. The stresses and the projections of the electromagnetic induction vector acting in the medium beyond the inclusion are determined for each case of loading at infinity
