Abstract

The transverse-horizontal wave propagating in a semi-infinite piezoelectric solid with hexagonal symmetry subject to initial electromechanical fields is investigated in this paper. The electromechanical boundary value problem is solved, and the phase velocity, the displacement, and the electric potential are obtained. For a metallized boundary surface, the dependency of the solution on the initial fields for several piezoelectric crystals is analyzed. These results may be proved useful to model the propagation of waves in anisotropic piezoelectric structures subject to a bias, serving as a benchmark for further numerical and experimental approaches.
