Abstract: The present study deals with the propagation of a polarized shear horizontal (SH) wave in a pre-stressed piezoelectric cylinder circumscribed by a self-reinforced cylinder. The interface of the two media is assumed mechanically imperfect. For obtaining the dispersion relation, the mathematical formulation has been developed and solved by an analytical treatment. The effects of various parameters, i.e., the thickness ratio, the imperfect interface, the initial stress, the reinforcement, and the piezoelectric and dielectric constants, on the dispersion curve are observed prominently. The dispersion curves for different modes have been also plotted. The consequences of the study may be used for achieving optimum efficiency of acoustic wave devices.

Key words: shear horizontal (SH) wave, piezoelectric, imperfect interface, self-reinforced, initial stress
