AbstractIn this paper, we analytically study vibration of functionally graded piezoelectric (FGP) nanoplates based on the nonlocal strain gradient theory. The top and bottom surfaces of the nanoplate are made of PZT-5H and PZT-4, respectively. We employ Hamilton’s principle and derive the governing differential equations. Then, we use Navier’s solution to obtain the natural frequencies of the FGP nanoplate. In the first step, we compare our results with the obtained results for the piezoelectric nanoplates in the previous studies. In the second step, we neglect the piezoelectric effect and compare our results with those obtained for the functionally graded (FG) nanoplates. Finally, the effects of the FG power index, the nonlocal parameter, the aspect ratio, and the side-tothickness ratio, and the nanoplate shape on natural frequencies are investigated.

In this paper, the coupled three-dimensional flexural vibration of micro-rotors is investigated by taking into account the small-scale effects utilizing the strain gradient theory, which is a powerful nonclassical continuum theory in capturing small-scale effects. A micro-rotor consists mainly of a flexible micro-rotating shaft and a disk. With the aid of Hamilton's principle, governing equations of motion are derived and then transformed to the complex form. By implementing the Galerkin's method, a coupled ordinary differential equation is attained for the system. Expressions for the first two natural frequencies of the spinning micro-rotors are obtained with truncated two-term equation. Parametric studies on the results for different responses illustrate that the values of higher-order material constants may have significant effects on the natural frequencies of the system.

Wave dispersion response of a fluid-carrying piezoelectric nanotube is studied in this paper utilizing an improved model for piezoelectric materials which capture a new effect known as flexoelectricity in conjunction with the surface elasticity. For this aim, a higher order shear deformation theory is employed to model the problem. Furthermore, strain gradient effect as well as nonlocal effect is taken into consideration throughout using the nonlocal strain gradient theory (NSGT). Surface elasticity is also considered to make an accurate size-dependent formulation. Additionally, a non-compressible and non-viscous fluid is taken into consideration to model the flow effect. The wave propagation solution is then implemented to the governing equations obtained by Hamiltonian’s approach. The phase velocity and group velocity of the nanotube is determined for three wave modes (i.e. shear, longitudinal and bending waves) to study the influence of various involved factors including strain gradient, nonlocality, flexoelectricity and surface elasticity and flow velocity on the wave dispersion curves. Results reveal a considerable effect of the flexoelectric phenomenon on the wave propagation properties especially at a specific domain of the wave number. The size-dependency of this effect is disclosed. Overall, it is found that the flexoelectricity exhibits a substantial influence on wave dispersion properties of the smart fluid-conveying systems. Hence, such size-dependent effect should be considered to achieve exact and accurate knowledge on wave propagation characteristics of the system.
