This paper is concerned with the electromagnetic theory of microstretch elasticity. First, the initial boundary value problem is formulated in the framework of the linear dynamic theory of microstretch magnetoelectroelastic solids. Then, the spatial behavior of solutions is studied in both bounded and unbounded regions. The obtained result gives an exact idea of the domain of influence, in the sense that for each fixed time in a given interval, the entire activity vanishes at distanced from the support of the given data greater than a time-dependent threshold value. The study of spatial behavior is completed by an exponential decay estimate inside the domain of influence. As a by product a uniqueness result holding for both bounded and unbounded bodies is derived. Finally, the effect of a concentrated microstretch body force is studied.
