THE DIRECTION DEPENDENCE OF SURFACE WAVE SPEED AT THE SURFACE OF MAGNETO-ELECTRO-ELASTIC HALF-SPACE

The direction dependence of surface wave speed and the influence of electrically and magnetically short/open circuit are investigated in this paper. First, the elastic, piezoelectric and piezomagnetic coefficients in the considered ordinate system are obtained by Bonde transformation from those in the crystal axis ordinate system. Then, the secular equation of surface wave is derived from the free traction condition on the surface of half space with consideration of short/open circuit case. Some numerical examples are given. The direction dependence of surface wave speed and the influences of short/open circuit are shown graphically and discussed based on the numerical results.
