M. E. PBREZ Departamento de Matemgtica Aplicada, Universidad de Cantabria, Santander, Spain AbstrW-A Mindlin-to theory is const~~ted for cubic crystat plates, and the propagation of small amplitude waves in such plates is discussed in terms of the physical parameters of the material.

The propagation of flexural waves in a homogeneous and isotropic Mindlin plate was studied in Ref. [l], where the problem was reduced to a fourth-order equation for the plate deflection, which incorporates rotary inertia and transverse shear deformation terms. Below we aim to use the full system of the corresponding theory for cubic crystal plates to make an asymptotic analysis of such waves, for small values of the plate thickness and for small or large values of the elastic constants. In contrast to Ref. [l], here the constants include no artificial corrections. Crystal plates play an im~rtant role in the manufacture of integrated circuits [2]. In what follows, Greek and Latin subscripts take the values 1, 2 and 1, 2, 3, respectively, the convention of summation over repeated indices is understood, (- * -),i = a(- . ~)/&,, and a superposed dot indicates differentiation with respect to time. Consider a homogeneous cubic crystal material occupying the region R2 x [-ho/2, h,,f2], where h fj = const. The constitutive relations for this type of anisotropy are of the form [3]: tll = WI.1 + &,2 + %31 f22 = &.t

We assume that p> 0, y > 0 and IAl< y, which means that (6) is a positive quadratic form and (5) a hyperbolic system. We consider small amplitude harmonic waves propagating in the x,-direction, of wavelength A (wave number k), frequency w, phase velocity cP, and group velocity cg. Assuming that the body forces and moments, and the forces and moments acting on the faces, are negligible (that is, F; = 0), and seeking the solution of (5) in the form: u,(x, t) = ajei(kxI--wr),

Uj

we find that the aj must satisfy the system: (h*yk* + p - h2p02)a,

+ ipka3 = 0,

(h*pk* + p - h2pm2)a2 = 0, ipka, + (pm2 - pk2)a3 = 0.

This system has non-zero solutions for all the aj if and only if: h2pk2 + ,u - h2pm2 = 0.

h2y,uk4 - h2(y + ,u)pm*k* + (h2pco2 - &pm* = 0,

The discriminant of the first equation (7) is h4(y + ~FL)~p~co~ - 4h2yp(h2pw2

- ,u)pw* = h4(y - ,~)~p*w~ + 4h2y,u2pm2 > 0.

This means that k* is always real, therefore, all propagating waves are undamped. Since we prefer to conduct the discussion in terms of wavelength rather than frequency, rewrite (7) as: h2p2w4 - [p + h2(y + ,u)k*]po.t* + h2ypk4 = 0,

When A is small compared to h (in other words, k is large compared to h-l), the plate can be regarded as an infinite body in all directions for the purpose of wave analysis, and we recover the 3-D results. In the isotropic case (y = h + 2~) these results can be found, for example, in Ref. [3]. From now on we assume that all equalities are asymptotic with respect to the appropriate small parameter. Since, as we have pointed out above, large values of k are uninteresting, we also assume that k is sufficiently small so that no secular terms occur to the order of magnitude considered. If h is small, then a wave of wave number k can propagate with any of the frequencies: w

The first two waves correspond to the longitudinal and transverse waves in the isotropic case, and are non-dispersive. The third wave is normally dispersive. When or.is large, the discussion is similar to that for y small, with the obvious modifications. Acknowledgement-
