Electro-elastic Lamb waves in dielectric plates

We study the propagation of Lamb waves in soft dielectric plates subject to mechanical and electrical loadings and find the explicit expressions for the dispersion equations in the cases of neo-Hookean and Gent dielectrics. We elucidate the effects of the electric field, of the thickness-to-waveleng...

Summary:We study the propagation of Lamb waves in soft dielectric plates subject to mechanical and electrical loadings and find the explicit expressions for the dispersion equations in the cases of neo-Hookean and Gent dielectrics. We elucidate the effects of the electric field, of the thickness-to-wavelength ratio, of pre-stress and of strain-stiffening on the wave characteristics.
