Abstract:Considerable attention has been given to the study of the propagation of surface waves in order to improve the efficiency and lifetime of the surface acoustic wave devices such as transducers. In this paper, an investigation of the Rayleigh waves in functionally graded piezoelectric material is presented. The Rayleigh surface wave propagation is assumed to take place in a transversely isotropic graded piezoelectric half-space with material properties varying continuously along the thickness direction. The obta… 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.
