Abstract:We study the propagation of bending waves along the free edge of a semi-infinite piezoelectric plate within the framework of two-variable refined plate theory (TVPT, a high-order plate theory), Reissner-Mindlin refined plate theory (RMPT, a first-order plate theory), and the classical plate theory (CPT). The piezoelectric plate has macroscopic symmetry of orthogonal mm2 The governing equations are derived using Hamilton principle. The dispersion relations for electrically open and shorted boundary conditions a… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
