Theoretical study of uniaxial pressure influence on the propagation characteristics of Lamb and SH-waves in lithium niobate plate is carried out. Electromechanical coupling coefficients and controlling coefficients of the pressure influence on phase velocity are calculated in various directions. Transformation and hybridization of acoustic modes upon a pressure influence have been derived in details. PACS: 43.25.Fe; 43.35.Cg; 77.65.-j

Abstract The study of simultaneous energy harvesting and vibration attenuation has recently been the focus in many acoustic meta-materials investigations. The studies have reported the possibility of harvesting electric power using electromechanical coupling; however, the effect of the electromechanical resonator on the obtained bandgap’s boundaries has not been explored yet. In this paper, we investigate metamaterial coupled to electromechanical resonators to demonstrate the effect of electromechanical coupling on the wave propagation analytically and experimentally. The electromechanical resonator is shunted to an external load resistor to harvest energy. We derive the analytical dispersion curve of the system and show the band structure for different load resistors and electromechanical coupling coefficients. To verify the analytical dispersion relations, we also simulate the system numerically. Furthermore, experiment is carried out to validate the analytical observations. The obtained observations can guide designers in selecting electromechanical resonator parameters for effective energy harvesting from meta-materials.

An analytical approach is adopted to investigate the SH waves in a composite structure consisting of initially stressed rotating piezoelectric layer and initially stressed substrate with rotation. The interface between the layer and the substrate is assumed to be imperfect. Two distinct types of imperfect interfaces (dielectrically weakly and highly conducting) are considered. Secular equations have been obtained for both electrically open and short cases with weakly and highly performing interface. Particular cases have been derived and matched with existing result. The characteristics of SH wave through the considered framework and their state of relying on different physical and geometrical parameters have been scrutinized based on their numerical results. The parallel simulated outcomes of disparate physical quantities, namely, phase velocity, group velocity, dispersive curves, initial stress, rotation and electromechanical coupling factor, and stress distribution of SH wave in the considered structure are investigated. The considered model may be useful in theoretical foundation and practical application for the development of piezoelectric sensors, structural health monitoring, and surface acoustic wave devices.

AbstractThe present study deals with the affected behaviour of SH-wave propagation through a viscoelastic layer sandwiched between an anisotropic porous layer of finite thickness and an isotropic half space. The sandwiched viscoelastic layer is considered as heterogeneous medium of finite thickness and isotropic half-space is considered as initially stressed medium. The method of separation of variables has been applied to obtain the dispersion equation of SH-wave in their respective media. The obtained complex dispersion relation has been separated into real and imaginary parts. Moreover, the dispersion relation has been satisfied with the classical condition of Love waves. The effects of heterogeneity, attenuation constant, dissipation factor of viscoelasticity, initial stress (compressive), thickness ratio of two layers and porosity on the propagation of SH-waves have been shown by number of graphs. Graphs have been plotted for the dimensionless phase and damping velocity on the propagation of SH-waves with respect to the dimensionless real wave number. The results may be useful to explore the nature and peculiarity of SH-wave propagation in the viscoelastic structure.
