Dispersion relations for acoustic waves in heterogeneous multi-layered structures contacting with fluids. (English) Zbl 1269.74050
Summary: The paper describes a method and a computer application for the computation of the velocity of acoustic waves excited in complicated multi-layered structures consisting of anisotropic piezoelectric and isotropic layers. The structure assumes to be unbounded in the lateral directions. The top and bottom layers are either semi-infinite in the vertical direction or they contact with media such as fluids, gases or vacuum. A special homogenization technique enables to account for bristle-like layers contacting with a fluid. The program is supplied with a user friendly graphical interface and can be useful for researchers working on acoustic sensors.
