Abstract

This is a PDF file of an article that has undergone enhancements after acceptance, such as the addition of a cover page and metadata, and formatting for readability, but it is not yet the definitive version of record. This version will undergo additional copyediting, typesetting and review before it is published in its final form, but we are providing this version to give early visibility of the article. Please note that, during the production process, errors may be discovered which could affect the content, and all legal disclaimers that apply to the journal pertain.

Dynamic Analysis of Multilayered Piezoelectric Quasicrystal Three-Dimensional Sector Plates with Imperfect Interfaces

“…QCs have excellent physical and mechanical properties such as high hardness, high conductivity, low thermal conductivity, and photoconductivity due to their unique atomic configuration [2,3]. These properties make QCs widely useful in engineering as composite strengthening phase, thermal barrier coating, and solar thin film [4][5][6]. As such, QCs have attracted great attention of researchers in many fields, such as mathematics, material science, crystallography, and physics.…”
