Author Name  : V.K. Nelson, Nehru Erode Santhanam 

Synopsis  : 

Axisymmetric vibration of an infinite piezocomposite solid cylinder made of inner solid and outer hollow piezoelectric layer of 6mm-class bonded together by an isotropic CFRP (Carbon fiber-reinforced plastics) layer is studied. The frequency equations are obtained for the traction free surfaces with continuity condition at the interfaces. Numerical results are carried out for the cylinder PZT4/CFRP/PZT4 and the dispersion curves are compared with that of a solid piezoelectric cylinder and a similar model embedding a linear elastic material with voids (LEMV).
