Effect of mass layer stiffness on propagation of thickness-twist waves in rotated Y-cut quartz crystal plates.
We analyze the effect of mass layer stiffness on thickness-twist waves propagating in a rotated Y-cut quartz crystal plate with thin mass layers on its surfaces. An equation that determines the dispersion relation of the waves is given and is solved numerically. Quantitative results of the effect of the mass layer stiffness on wave frequencies are presented. These results are important to the understanding and design of resonators and mass sensors.
