On the Temperature Dependence of the Velocity of Surface Waves in Quartz.

Abstract

The first temperature derivatives of the fundamental elastic constants of quartz are employed along with the thermally-induced biasing strains in the equation for the first perturbation of the eigenvalue for the linear electroelastic equations for small fields superposed on a bias to calculate the resulting change in surface wave velocity with temperature. Since the description employed is referred to a fixed reference state, the geometry does not change and the temperature coefficient of velocity is the negative of the temperature coefficient of delay.
