Axisymmetric indentation problem of a rigid perfect electrical insulator indenter on a functionally graded piezoelectric coating bonded to a piezoelectric substrate is investigated. The electromechanical properties of the functionally graded piezoelectric coating are assumed to vary as an exponential function along the thickness direction. The technique of the Hankel integral transform is applied to reduce the indentation problem to a singular integral equation. The numerical methods are developed and applied to compute the contact pressure for a cylindrical indenter and a spherical indenter. The effects of the material property gradient on the contact pressure, contact region, indentation depth, and electrical potential are analyzed. The numerical results are also obtained for the indentation responses of three different piezoelectric substrates.

In this paper, we analyze the propagation of shear horizontal surface waves in a dielectric layer/piezoelectric substrate structure covered by a viscous liquid layer of finite thickness. The complex dispersion equation is derived. The numerical results show that the liquid layer thickness and dimensionless real-valued wave number have significant eff ects on the attenuation and phase velocity. In addition, it is found that in general the influence of the liquid layer viscosity on the phase velocity is opposite to that of the liquid layer density.
