Surface wave propagation in functionally graded piezoelectric material: An analytical solution

Wentzel–Kramers–Brillouin approximation technique serves as a powerful tool to find the particle displacements due to surface wave propagation in bedded structure with distinct material properties. This study is carried out to investigate the transference of Love-type waves in functionally graded piezoelectric material layer bonded between viscous liquid and pre-stressed piezoelectric half-space. Following the elastic wave theory, the mathematical model is established. Wentzel–Kramers–Brillouin method is applied to obtain the theoretical derivations in functionally graded piezoelectric material stratum where variation in material gradients is taken exponentially. Separation of variables method is employed to obtain the displacement components in viscous liquid and piezoelectric medium. Dispersion equations for considered surface wave are obtained in both electrically open and short cases. Profound effect of material gradient coefficient on phase velocity has been remarkably established. Some numerical examples are carried out and represented through graphs. The considered model facilitates a theoretical foundation and practical application for the development of surface acoustic wave devices.
