A model of a piezoelectric structure with an inhomogeneous coating is considered. The structure is a homogeneous half-space made of PZT-5H ferroelectric ceramics with a functionally graded coating. The properties of coating vary continuously in thickness from parameters of one material to parameters of another material in a continuously nonmonotonic or piecewise-continuous manner. As coating materials, various combinations of ceramics of different stiffness based on PZT are considered. Using the example of the problem of the propagation of sh-waves in a piezoelectric structure, we studied the influence of the ratio of the physical parameters of the coating materials, the localization region, and the size of the transition zone of one material to another on the propagation features of surface acoustic waves (SAWs) and the structure of the wave field.
