SURFACE-WAVES IN A GENERALIZED THERMOPIEZOELECTRIC HALF-SPACE

Propagation of longitudinal surface waves on the surface of a rotating monoclinic piezo-electric half space has been considered taking into account generalized thermal coupling as in Green and Lindsay model. Variations of piezoelectric potential, particle displacement, temperature, etc. with depth into the medium and the piezoelectric Poynting vector together with power flow components have been derived, assuming the existence of a shorting plane at a certain distance above the free surface of the half space.
