Abstract
Acoustic surface waves propagating around the periphery of a piezoelectric cylinder of hexagonal symmetry are investigated. A co-axial structure with a piezoelectric insulator as the inner cylinder and electric conductor as the outer cylinder is considered. The dispersion equation is derived and solved under certain approximations assuming the elastic stiffness to be time dependent as in Voigt's model of viscoelasticity. The final expressions for the mechanical displacement component and electric potential are obtained. Ultimately some important parameters of such waves as group velocity, Poynting vector and power flow components have also been determined.
