Abstract

Dispersion curves of a system consisting of a piezoelectric covering layer and metal half-plane under the uniaxial initial stresses perpendicular to the wave propagation direction are obtained within the scope of the Threedimensional Linearized Theory of Elastic Waves in Initially Stressed Bodies. The elasticity relations of the metal half-plane material are described by the Murnaghan potential. The numerical results are discussed for PZT-2 covering layer and aluminum half-plane material. The influence of the initial stresses, the piezoelectricity of the covering layer, and the third order elastic constants on the near-surface wave propagation velocity is illustrated.
