Abstract

ABSTRACTAn exact approach is used to investigate the horizontally polarized shear wave in an irregular piezoelectric layer with corrugated surface lying over prestressed viscoelastic substrate. Perturbation technique is used to solve the problem. Dispersion relations are obtained in closed form for electrically open and short cases. The main feature of the present work is its ability to investigate the effect of irregularity, corrugation, dielectric constant, piezoelectric constant, initial stress and viscoelastic parameter on the phase velocity of SH wave. Numerical example has been carried out to observe the profound effect of these affecting parameters on phase velocity of SH wave.
