Abstract
This paper is devoted to study a problem of plane waves reflection at a traction-free surface of a pre-stressed functionally graded piezoelectric material (FGPM). The effects of initial stress and material gradient on the reflection of plane waves are studied in this paper. Secular equation has been derived analytically for the pre-stressed FGPM halfspace and used to show the existence of two coupled waves namely qP and qSV . Continuity condition of stress, electrical potential and electrical displacement at traction free surface is used to obtain the reflection coefficient of qP and qSV waves. Results of the problem are shown graphically and effects of initial stress and material gradient are discussed for a particular case of Lithium niobate material. © 2017 IAU, Arak Branch.
