This study investigates the dispersive properties and resonant frequencies of ridge waves around piezoelectric circular ridge waveguides, using numerical and experimental methods. The research proposes an effective approach to inversely calculate the elastic constants and geometric parameters of the circular piezoelectric ridge waveguides.
This study investigates the dispersive properties of ridge waves that travel circumferentially around piezoelectric circular ridge waveguides and investigates their resonant modes. Based on the variable separation method and Hamilton's principle, the displacement of ridge waveguides is represented as the product of a cross-sectional coordinate-dependent function and the propagator along the circumference of a circular ridge waveguide. The dispersion curves of the flexural waves and resonant frequencies corresponding to ridge waveguides are solved numerically by applying the bidimensional finite element method (Bi-d FEM) and using the three-dimensional (3D) ANSYS package. The estimated impedance curves are compared with the predicted dispersion curves of waves from ridge waveguides to validate the proposed numerical approach. The elastic constants of the circular piezoelectric ridge waveguide are determined through an inverse scheme that is based on the modified simplex method. The numerical and experimental results show that by using the modified simplex method to inverse calculate the elastic constants and geometric parameters of the piezoelectric circular ridge waveguides, a good degree of accuracy and sensitivity can be achieved.
