Abstract
We analytically investigate shear horizontal surface acoustic wave (SH-SAW) propagation in layered piezoelectric structures loaded with viscous liquid, which involves a thin piezoelectric layer imperfectly bonded to an unbounded elastic substrate. The coupling wave equations are obtained based on the linear piezoelectric theory. The governing equations are solved by means of the analytical method with consideration of electrically open and shorted cases, respectively. The dispersive relations are obtained, and the effects of the imperfect constant on the properties of waves are presented and discussed. From the numerical results, we can find that the phase velocity decreases with the increase of the interface parameter n, and for a specified viscosity, the attenuation increases with the interface parameter. The results show that the effects of the imperfect constant on the properties of SH-SAW are remarkable.
