This paper represents an analysis of surface acoustic waves propagating in
rotating piezoelectric solids. The analysis shows that a piezoelectric mate
rial may not permit propagation of more than one rotation-perturbed surface
wave even if both the Rayleigh wave and the Bleustein-Gulyaev wave are per
missible under a non-rotating condition. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All
