Abstract
Section titled āAbstractāThis paper analytically investigates the propagation characteristics of Love waves in a 32 trigonal piezoelectric layer resting on an elastic substrate. The governing electromechanical equations are derived and dispersion equations are obtained for two electrically open and short conditions. For a numerical study, a structure consisting of an α-quartz layer bonded onto a diamond substrate is considered. The influence of electrical boundary conditions on the mechanical and electrical responses is presented and discussed. The numerical results of dispersion curves indicate that phase velocities of all modes initiate at the shear wave velocity of the substrate and the phase velocity of the first mode approaches the velocity of the Bleustein-Gulyaev (BG) wave at high wavenumbers. Despite hexagonal piezoelectric material, the real and imaginary parts of the response mode shapes do not have identical distribution in a structure containing a piezoelectric material of crystal class 32. In addition, the present study provides a theoretical foundation for the design and application of surface acoustic wave (SAW) devices.
