Surface effects on wave propagation in piezoelectric half-spaceWeijian Zhou, Weiqiu Chen*Department of Engineering Mechanics, Zhejiang University,Hangzhou 310027, P. R. ChinaAbstract：The surface waves in a piezoelectric half-space with material boundary are considered in this paper. The Stroh formalism and the modified Stroh formalism areutilized to discuss the existence of multiple modes of surface waves and wave number domain of each modein such body. The modified impedance tensor is introduced to investigate the wave propagation in electrically closed piezoelectric half-space, and the properties of such modified impedance tensor are discussed. Based on these theories, the surface waves in hexagonal piezoelectric material with material boundary are discussed in detail. The discussion tells that, the electrical boundary condition and the surface permittivity have no effect on the propagation of Rayleigh type surface waves but have significant effect on B-G waves. There are at most three modes in this material, i.e. fundamental Rayleigh wave modes, Sezawa wave modes and B-G wave modes. The existence criterions of each wave mode are established in detail, and the frequency domains are given for each mode when they exist. The numerical examples show the effect of material boundary on the wave propagation, and confirm the correctness of the discussions about the existence and frequency domain of each mode of the surface waves.Keywords：Surface waves, surface effects, piezoelectric, existence, multiple modes.InstructionThe surface effect, which is derived from the departure of homogeneity in the neighborhood of the surfacedue to the environment, plays an important role in determining the mechanical behaviors of a micro- and nano-sized structure[1, 2].A plenty of literatures can be found on this subject. Varieties of rigorous elasticity theories[3-8] have been established to describe the surface effect, among which the most widely used is the G-M theory[3]. This theory sh
