Abstract

We investigated the propagation properties of Stoneley waves between two magneto-electro-elastic half planes. Magneto-electro-elastic materials are assumed to possess hexagonal (6 mm) symmetry. Twenty-five sets of magneto-electrical interface conditions were adopted and generalized frequency equations were derived and solved numerically. It was found that, for each set of interface conditions, existing Stoneley waves are always non-dispersive. Numerical results further show that material properties have a significant effect on both the number and velocity of Stoneley waves, and that, although different magneto-electrical interface conditions could influence the existence of Stoneley waves, they have no effect on wave velocities.
