Investigation of surface and interface effects of piezoelectric quasicrystal different models with propagation of shear horizontal and anti-plane shear horizontal wave

Abstract

Based on the theoretical representation of piezoelectric quasicrystal, a generalized dynamic model is built to represent the transmission of wave aspects in surface acoustic pulse nano-devices. Surface elasticity, surface piezoelectricity, and surface permittivity help to include the surface effect, which equals additional thin sheets. It is shown that, under certain assumptions, this generalized dynamic model may be simplified to a few classical examples that are appropriate for both macro and nano-scale applications. In the current work, surface piezoelectricity is used to develop a theoretical model for shear horizontal (SH) waves where it contains the surface piezoelectricity theory and a linear spring model to quantitatively and qualitatively explore SH waves in an orthotropic piezoelectric quasicrystal layer overlying an elastic framework (Model I), a piezoelectric quasi-crystal nano substrate, and an orthotropic piezoelectric quasicrystal half-space (Model II). The theoretical model stimulates the numerical results, which establish the critical thickness. As the piezoelectric layer’s thickness gets closer to nanometres, surface energy must be included when analyzing dispersion properties. Furthermore, the effects of surface elasticity and density on wave velocity are investigated individually. The authors establish a parameter, precisely the ratio of the physical modulus along the width direction to along the direction of wave travel. The surface effect’s impact on the general characteristics of piezoelectric structures is seen as a spring force acting on bulk boundaries. Analytical presentation of frequency equations for both symmetric and anti-symmetric waves pertains to the case of an electrical short circuit in Model II. The project aims to analyze SH waves in orthogonal anisotropic, transversely isotropic piezoelectric layered nanostructures, providing a practical mathematical tool for surface effects analysis and adaptability to other wave types, including Rayleigh waves and acoustic surface waves.
