Abstract

The propagation of shear horizontal surface acoustic waves (SHSAWs) in an inhomogeneous magneto-electro-elastic (MEE) half-space with 6-mm symmetry is studied. By virtue of both the direct approach and Stroh-formalism, the dispersion relations corresponding to two general cases of material properties variation are obtained. In the first case, it is assumed that all material properties involving the MEE properties and density vary similarly in depth, whereas, the second case considers identical variation for the MEE properties, which differs from the variation of the density. The non-dispersive SHSAW velocities pertinent to the homogeneous MEE media are obtained under eight different surface electromagnetic boundary conditions as the limiting cases of the current study. The dispersion curves corresponding to eleven inhomogeneity profiles of practical importance are presented in an effective dimensionless format, and the effects of different types of inhomogeneity functions describing the composition of the functionally graded magneto-electro-elastic (FGMEE) half-space on the dispersion relation are discussed.
