The paper proposes and analyzes different approaches to constructing numerical schemes to solve the nonstationary vibration problem for a radially polarized piezoelectric hollow cylinder with different electric boundary conditions under mechanical loading. It is established that when the cylinder is subjected to internal pressure, the radial displacements are similar and the longitudinal displacements substantially different in cylinders with electroded and nonelectroded surfaces Keywords: piezoelectric hollow cylinder, nonstationary vibrations, numerical schemes, internal pressure Introduction. The widespread use of miscellaneous piezoelectric transducers [3, 10, etc.] necessitates studying the dynamic behavior of structural members made of piezoceramic materials. The harmonic electroelastic vibrations of piezoceramic bodies were studied in [3, 7, 11, 17, etc.]. The vibrations of piezoceramic rods under shock loading were addressed in [4,5]. Two-dimensional nonstationary problems of electroelasticity were solved in [6,9]. The nonstationary electroelastic acoustic vibrations of piezoceramic shells and cylinders in hydraulic systems were studied in [1, 2, 13].We will use direct integration to solve the initial-boundary-value vibration problem for a radially polarized hollow piezoceramic cylinder under mechanical loading. Different electric boundary conditions will be examined. Integration over time will be carried out using explicit and implicit schemes and the Runge-Kutta method, and the corresponding results will be compared.1. Problem Formulation. Consider a radially polarized hollow piezoceramic cylinder with mid-surface radius R, thickness 2h, and length l described in a cylindrical coordinate frame r z , , q . The end z = 0 of the cylinder is rigidly fixed. The
