Dispersion and dissipation of shear horizontal wave in magneto-electro-elastic material loaded with complex magnetic viscous fluid
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: The present study outlines the theoretical analysis of Shear horizontal (SH) wave propagation on magneto-electro-elastic (MEE) material lying on an elastic half-space and subjected to magnetic fluid loading. Using an exact analytical approach, complex dispersion relations for SH waves are derived under both electric short and electric open boundary conditions. To validate these derived relations, specific cases are considered where the MEE material behaves as piezoelectric and piezomagnetic. The complex dispersion relations are separated into real and imaginary components, revealing nonlinear relationships between phase velocity and attenuation of SH waves in relation to geometric parameters, frequency, and the physical properties of the magnetic fluid. Five different magnetic fluids are examined to illustrate the phase velocity and attenuation characteristics graphically. The effects of geometric and physical parameters of the magnetic fluids, the thickness of the MEE material, and the frequency and density of the elastic half-space on the phase velocity and attenuation of SH waves are discussed. Additionally, the finite element method (FEM) is employed to validate the results, ensuring the accuracy of the analytical findings. The results of this study are fundamental and can be used to design and development of surface acoustic wave (SAW) liquid sensors as well as magnetic field sensors.
