Nonlocal Aspect of Piezoelectric Composite on Transmission of Mechanical Wave

This research article aims to conduct a more thorough examination of the effects of size on piezoelectric composites when subjected to Love-type mechanical wave propagation. The objective is to take into account the structural size influences by employing Eringen’s nonlocal theory. By utilizing Maxwell’s relation and electric boundary conditions, the distribution of electric potentials along the piezoelectric composite is derived. Through exact analysis, the dispersion relations for the piezoelectric composite are obtained. Specific outcomes are acquired and validated by comparing them to existing results. Subsequently, a detailed investigation of various influential parameters such as the nonlocal parameter and material parameters on the wave dispersion characteristics of the nanoscaled structure is conducted. These findings demonstrate that the nonlocality parameter within the medium significantly affects wave propagation.
