We analyze the propagation of antiplane or shear-horizontal waves near the interface between two half-spaces of piezoelectric ceramics. The material properties vary in the direction perpendicular to the interface. Both electroded and unelectroded interfaces are considered. Transcendental equations that determine the dispersion relations of the waves are obtained. They reduce to a few known results in the literature as special cases. Different from similar waves in homogeneous materials, the waves obtained are dispersive. The equations for the dispersion relations are solved numerically. It is found that the wave speeds are sensitive to the variation of material properties. This suggests the possibility of manipulating the wave propagation behavior through proper design of materials.
