Abstract: The elastic theory of quasicrystals considers, in addition to the "normal" displacement field, three "phason" degrees of freedom. We present an approximative solution for the elastic Green's function of icosahedral quasicrystals, assuming that the coupling between the phonons and phasons is small.
