Abstract

This research explores the complex interaction between piezoelectric waves and heat-moisture diffusion within a semi-infinite piezoelectric material under hygro-thermal conditions. By employing a two-dimensional Cartesian framework, novel governing equations for a thermo-piezoelectrically orthotropic medium influenced by moisture effects are developed. Accurate representations for key parameters are obtained by utilizing normal mode analysis. The investigation examines the influence of critical factors like moisture content, diffusivity, and temperature diffusivity on the spatial distribution of various physical fields. Additionally, a particular scenario of significance is highlighted. These results have the potential to improve sensor, actuator, and energy-harvesting device performance and dependability.
