Abstract
In this paper, the global matrix method is applied to find the behavior of transmission coefficients for shear horizontal (SH) wave propagation with oblique incidence in piezocomposite layered systems. The elemental periodic cells of these piezocomposites are formed by two types of components: a piezoelectric PZT material and an Araldite polymer. The behavior of the transmission coefficient with respect to the frequency, incidence angle and piezoelectric volume fraction is studied. Some numerical calculations for different configurations of the composite are shown. The influence of the bonding films made of polymeric material is also studied. These results could be used to versatile transducers design.
