Numerical analysis of the dispersion of acoustoelectric waves in a layer with a thickness axis of symmetry for its physical propertes

A numerical method is developed for studying normal electroelastic waves in a layer of piezoelectric materials with mm2 rhombic symmetry, and a second order thickness atris of symmetry. The main system of equations is reduced to eight hamiltonian-type equations in the thickness coordinate. For harmonic waves, the generalized spectral problem is solved numerically taking into account the even (odd) character of the solution with respect to the central plane of the layer. Some solutions of specific problems are analyzed. Translated from Teoreticheskaya i Prikladnaya Mekhanika, No. 30, pp. 162–169, 1999.
