Analysis of Sh-Waves Propagating in Multiferroic Structure With Interfacial Imperfection

This article presents the study of wave mechanics in a multiferroic structure having imperfection in the structure’s interface. this article reflects the study of shear horizontal (sh) wave propagation in a layered cylindrical structure consisting of thin layers of different materials (reinforced material and piezomagnetic material) with an imperfect interface. the interface considered between both materials is mechanically imperfect. dispersion relations are achieved analytically. distinct graphs are drawn (numerically) to exhibit the influence of parameters like rotation, initial stress, and mechanically imperfect parameters on phase velocity. numerical results are drawn analytically and explained for each affecting distinct parameters for materials and interface. parametric results on the phase velocities yield a significant conclusion of which some are: (a) performance of piezo with reinforcement material have an influential impact on wave velocity. (b) the mechanical imperfection affects the significantly on wave velocity (c) the reinforcement/pm stiffening can monotonically up the velocity of phase velocity.
