This paper investigates the static bending and free vibration analysis of functionally graded piezoelectric material beam under electromechanical loading. The effective material properties of functionally graded piezoelectric material beam are assumed to vary continuously through the thickness direction and are graded according to sigmoid law distribution. Both multi-layered and monomorph models have been considered in the present work. A two-dimensional finite element analysis has been performed using COMSOL Multiphysics® (version 4.2) software. The accuracy of the method was validated by comparing the results with the previous published work. The results presented in the paper shall be useful in the design of functionally graded piezoelectric material beam.
