The Inhomogeneous Waves in a Rotating Piezoelectric Body

الملخص EN

This paper presents the analysis and numerical results of rotation, propagation angle, and attenuation angle upon the waves propagating in the piezoelectric body.

Via considering the centripetal and Coriolis accelerations in the piezoelectric equations with respect to a rotating frame of reference, wave velocities and attenuations are derived and plotted graphically.

It is demonstrated that rotation speed vector can affect wave velocities and make the piezoelectric body behaves as if it was damping.

Besides, the effects of propagation angle and attenuation angle are presented.

Critical point is found when rotation speed is equal to wave frequency, around which wave characteristics change drastically.
