Description

GEW piezo plate is a minimal script for fast and robust computation of guided electroelastic waves in piezoelectric plates. It implements the spectral collocation method (SCM) based on DMSUITE and is an extension to GEW dispersion script. The code implements the method from

Features:

  • only ~130 comprehensive lines of Matlab code
  • electrically 'shorted' or 'open' plate surfaces
  • arbitrary propagation direction

Tip: use GEWtool if you need a full system for multilayered piezoelectric waveguides.
