Flexural vibration of an infinite piezocomposite solid cylinder made of inner solid and outer hollow piezoelectric layer of 6mm-class bonded together by an isotropic CFRP (Carbon fiber-reinforced plastics) layer is studied by using Mathematical equations. The frequency equations are obtained for the traction free surfaces with continuity condition at the interfaces. Numerical results are carried out for the cylinder PZT4/CFRP/PZT4 and the dispersion curves are compared with that of a solid piezoelectric cylinder and a similar model embedding a linear elastic material with voids (LEMV).The proposed method is to analyze the attenuation and damping effect of the said material.
