We developed a numerical method for solving the plane problem of nonstationary vibrations of a piezoceramic prismatic body with rectangular cross-section under mechanical loading. How the vibrations of the body with clamped edge are excited and propagate is studied. The dynamic state of bodies of different widths is analyzed. The time dependence of the thickness and transverse displacements is plotted. The distribution of the electric potential over the width of the body is illustrated Keywords: nonstationary electroelastic vibrations, piezoceramic prismatic body, plane problem, mesh approximation, difference schemeIntroduction. Prismatic bodies with rectangular cross-section are very widely used piezoceramic elements [3,10]. While in service, piezoelectric elements are often subjected to dynamic mechanical loads. This necessitates a detailed study of the electromechanical state of bodies in nonstationary operating conditions. The vibrations of piezoelectric bodies under harmonic loading were studied in [3,7,11,12]. The one-dimensional nonstationary vibrations of piezoelectric bodies subject to dynamic electric and mechanical excitation were addressed in [1,2,4,5,15,18,19]. Numerical approaches to solving two-dimensional initial-boundary-value problems of electroelasticity were proposed in [6,9,13,14,16].In the present paper, we develop a numerical method to solve the plane problem of electroelasticity for a prismatic piezoceramic body with rectangular cross-section under mechanical loading and analyze its dynamic electromechanical state depending on the geometrical and mechanical parameters.
