The Effect of Micro-Inertia and Flexoelectricity on Love Wave Propagation in Layered Piezoelectric Structures.

The non-classical linear governing equations of strain gradient piezoelectricity with micro-inertia effect are used to investigate Love wave propagation in a layered piezoelectric structure. The influence of flexoelectricity and micro-inertia effect on the phase wave velocity in a thin homogeneous flexoelectric layer deposited on a piezoelectric substrate is investigated. The dispersion relation for Love waves is obtained.
