Considerable attention has been given to the study of the propagation of surface waves in order to improve the efficiency and lifetime of the surface acoustic wave devices such as transducers. In this paper, an investigation of the Rayleigh waves in functionally graded piezoelectric material is presented. The Rayleigh surface wave propagation is assumed to take place in a transversely isotropic graded piezoelectric half-space with material properties varying continuously along the thickness direction. The obtained results have shown that dispersive Rayleigh waves can propagate on the surface of the FGPM half-space with characteristics that depend on the graded variation of the material parameters. Based on the dispersion relations, the phase velocity for both the electrically open and shorted cases at the free surface is deduced. The displacement magnitudes and the corresponding decay variations are plotted and discussed.
