Scattering of antiplane shear wave by a piezoelectric circular cylinder with an imperfect interfaces (Q2460977)

The authors consider the scattering of an antiplane wave by a piezoelectric circular cylinder with imperfect interface. The imperfection considered is either weakly conducting or dielectrically highly conducting interface. The governing equations with homogeneous or inhomogeneous imperfect interface are solved in terms of a series in Bessel functions of first kind of arbitrary order. Numerical examples are given to show scattering features from homogeneous and inhomogeneous interfaces. Large low frequency peaks in the scattered wave are verified through a mass-spring model.
