Piezoelectric Layers

For the first time, a two-dimensional (2D) piezoelasticity-based analytical solution is developed for free vibration analysis of axially functionally graded (AFG) beams integrated with piezoelectric layers and subjected to arbitrary supported boundary conditions. The material properties of the elastic layers are considered to vary linearly along the axial ([Formula: see text]) direction of the beam. Modified Hamiltons principle is applied to derive the weak form of coupled governing equations in which, stresses, displacements and electric field variables acting as primary variables. Further, the extended Kantorovich method is employed to reduce the governing equation into sets of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) along the axial ([Formula: see text]) and thickness ([Formula: see text]) directions. The ODEs along the [Formula: see text]-direction have constant coefficients, where the ODEs along [Formula: see text]-direction have variable coefficients. These sets of ODEs are solved analytically, which ensures the same order of accuracy for all the variables by satisfying the boundary and continuity conditions in exact pointwise manner. New benchmark numerical results are presented for a single layer AFG beam and AFG beams integrated with piezoelectric layers. The influence of the axial gradation, aspect ratio and boundary conditions on the natural frequencies of the beam are also investigated. These numerical results can be used for assessing 1D beam theories and numerical techniques.

AbstractFree vibration analysis of functionally graded (FG) curved panels integrated with piezoelectric layers under various boundary conditions is studied. A panel with two opposite edges is simply supported, and arbitrary boundary conditions at the other edges are considered. Two different models of material property variations based on the power law distribution in terms of the volume fractions of the constituents and the exponential law distribution of the material properties through the thickness are considered. Based on the three-dimensional theory of elasticity, an approach combining the state space method and the differential quadrature method (DQM) is used. For the simply supported boundary conditions, closed-form solution is given by making use of the Fourier series expansion, and applying the differential quadrature method to the state space formulations along the axial direction, new state equations about state variables at discrete points are obtained for the other cases such as clamped or free-end conditions. Natural frequencies of the hybrid curved panels are presented by solving the eigenfrequency equation, which can be obtained by using edges boundary conditions in this state equation. The results obtained for only FGM shell is verified by comparing the natural frequencies with the results obtained in the literature.

The free vibration analysis of the functionally graded (FG) double curved shallow shell structures with general boundary conditions is investigated by an improved Fourier series method (IFSM). The material properties of FG structures are assumed to vary continuously in the thickness direction, according to the four graded parameters of the volume distribution function. Under the current framework, the displacement and rotation functions are set to a spectral form, including a double Fourier cosine series and two supplementary functions. These supplements can effectively eliminate the discontinuity and jumping phenomena of the displacement function along the edges. The formulation is based on the first-order shear deformation theory (FSDT) and Rayleigh-Ritz technique. This method can be universally applied to the free vibration analysis of the shallow shell, because it only needs to change the relevant parameters instead of modifying the basic functions or adapting solution procedures. The proposed method shows excellent convergence and accuracy, which has been compared with the results of the existing literatures. Numerous new results for free vibration analysis of FG shallow shells with various boundary conditions, geometric parameter, material parameters, gradient parameters, and volume distribution functions are investigated, which may serve as the benchmark solution for future researches.

This paper describes a study of three-dimensional free vibration analysis of thick circular and annular functionally graded (FG) plates resting on Pasternak foundation. The formulation is based on the linear, small strain and exact elasticity theory. Plates with different boundary conditions are considered and the material properties of the FG plate are assumed to vary continuously through the thickness according to power law. The kinematic and the potential energy of the plate-foundation system are formulated and the polynomial-Ritz method is used to solve the eigenvalue problem. Convergence and comparison studies are done to demonstrate the correctness and accuracy of the present method. With respect to geometric parameters, elastic coefficients of foundation and different boundary conditions some new results are reported which maybe used as a benchmark solution for future researches.

In this article, free vibration analysis of elastically supported sandwich beams with functionally graded face sheets subjected to thermal environment is presented. In order to accurately include the transverse shear deformation and the inertia effects, two-dimensional elasticity theory is used to formulate the problem. The layerwise theory in conjunction with the differential quadrature method is employed to discretize the governing equations in the thickness and axial directions, respectively. The material properties of functionally graded face sheets are assumed to be temperature-dependent and graded in the thickness direction according to a power-law distribution. For the purpose of comparison, the problem under consideration is also solved using two-dimensional finite element method and the first-order shear deformation theory. The accuracy, convergence, and versatility of the method are demonstrated by comparing the results with those of the two aforementioned approaches and also with the existing solutions in literature. Eventually, some new numerical results are presented which depict the effects of different material and geometrical parameters on natural frequencies and mode shapes of the beam.
