Abstract
The constitutive equations that involve the interaction of elastic, electric and magnetic fields in magnetoelectroelastic media relate stresses, strains, and electric and magnetic fields. The solution of the governing equations under appropriate boundary conditions describes a wave that decays exponentially from the surface and is a surface wave. The existence of this surface wave is investigated in transversely isotropic magnetoelectroelastic materials. It is noted that it does not arise in an elastic homogeneous material of the same elastic symmetry as the magnetoelectroelastic material. An analysis is carried out on the free surface of a magnetoelectroelastic half-space. Expressions for the velocity of propagation of the surface waves are obtained. The theoretical results can be used in the design of high-frequency surface wave devices.
