Abstract

This work considers the propagation of shear horizontal (SH) waves in a bilayer system consisting of a piezoelectric (PE) layer and a piezomagnetic (PM) substrate. The interface between the PE layer and the PM substrate is imperfectly bonded. The surfaces of the bilayer system are free of traction, electrically shorted or open and magnetically open or shorted. The exact dispersion equations are derived. The numerical examples are given to illustrate the effects of the electromagnetic boundary conditions, the imperfect interface, the different PE layers and the thickness ratio on the dispersion behaviors. It is found that (a) the electrical boundary conditions dominate the propagation characteristics of SH waves; (b) the imperfect bonding lowers the phase velocities; (c) the thickness ratio and the properties of PE layers have a significant effect on the dispersion behaviors. The obtained results provide a predictable and theoretical basis for applications of PE–PM composites to acoustic wave devices.
