Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to address the wave reflection over the rotating piezoelectric boundary surface in the framework of inhomogeneous wave theory which can introduce an additional reflected surface wave over the boundary surface to solve the problem of discrepancy between independent wave modes and boundary equations. A set of homogeneous equations in displacements and electric potential is derived within the rotatory coordinate system in the presence of the Coriolis and centrifugal acceleration presenting noticeable influence upon the wave propagation and reflection. Other than the transverse wave, the performed plane example shows that there is a critical point of when angular velocity equals the wave frequency for the quasi-longitudinal wave. The results also reveal that the angular velocity is accompanied by the modification of reflected waves especially in the case of reflected surface mode as well as the reflection angles, the amplitudes, and energy ratio coefficients.
