The stud y of this theoretical work definitely adds extra fo ur new dispersive shear-horizontal waves propagating in the transversely isotropic piezoelectromagnetic (PEM) plates of class 6 mm. In this study, the follo wing mechanical, electrical, and magnetic boundary conditions at both the upper and lower free surfaces of the PEM plate are exploited: the mechanically free surface, continuity of both the electrical and magnetic inductions, and continuity of both the electrical and magnetic potentials. The obtained dispersion relations were also graphically studied and compared with previous results. Some interesting peculiarities were also discussed. It is well-known that the plate waves are frequently used for nondestructive testing and evaluation of thin films, further miniaturization of differen t technical devices based on PEM smart materials, and constitution of new tech nical devices such as filters, sensors, delay lines, switches, lab-on- a-chip, etc.
