Reverberation-ray analysis of orthotropic piezoelectric laminates with imperfect interfaces

The static and dynamic problems of an imperfectly bonded, orthotropic, piezoelectric laminate in cylindrical bending are investigated based on the equations of piezoelasticity. A general spring layer is adopted to model the bonding imperfections at the interfaces of the laminate. The formulations of reverberation-ray analysis are developed. The approach is verified by comparing the results with those obtained from the state space method.
