Abstract: | After some necessary recalls on the nonlinear theory of thermoelectroelasticity in piezoelectric crystals, asserting the need of constitutive equations which derive from a rotationally invariant energy function, this paper presents the governing equations for a small vibration superimposed on a bias originated by a slow and homogeneous temperature variation from a well-defined reference state. Thereafter, the authors define the effective coefficients appearing in the linearized incremental dynamic balance equations for linear momentum and electrical charge in Lagrange configuration, not omitting associated boundary conditions. The main features of these coefficients are discussed and explicit relations with more conventionally defined coefficients are given. Determination of numerical values of the proposed effective coefficients and examples of their use in the higher order modeling of static frequency-temperature characteristics of either bulk acoustic wave or surface acoustic wave devices are given in a companion paper. |
