Static and free vibration response analysis of a functionally graded piezoelectric material plate under thermal, electric, and mechanical loads is done in this study. The displacement field is acquired using the first-order shear deformation theory, and the Hamilton principle is applied to deduce the motion equations. Temperature-dependent material properties of the functionally graded material plate are used, and these properties follow the power-law distributions along the thickness direction. However, the properties of piezoelectric material layers are assumed to be independent of the electric field and temperature. Finite element formulation for the functionally graded piezoelectric material plate is done using the combined effect of mechanical and electrical loads. The effects of parameters like electrical loading, volume fraction exponent N, and temperature distribution on the static and free vibration characteristics of the functionally graded piezoelectric material square plate are analyzed and presented. Responses are obtained in terms of the centerline deflection, axial stress and the nondimensional natural frequency with various boundary conditions. It is observed that the centerline deflection and nondimensional natural frequency increases as exponent N increases. At the same time, the axial stress decreases with an increase in exponent N. The findings of the static and the free vibration analysis suggest the potential application of the functionally graded piezoelectric material plate in the piezoelectric actuator as well as for sensing deflection in bimorph.

Free vibration and static bending analysis of piezoelectric functionally graded material plates resting on one area of the two-parameter elastic foundation is firstly investigated in this paper. The third-order shear deformation theory of Reddy and 8-node plate elements are employed to derive the finite element formulations of the structures; this theory does not need any shear correction factors; however, the mechanical response of the structure is described exactly. Verification problems are performed to evaluate the accuracy of the proposed theory and mathematical model. A wide range of parameter study is investigated to figure out the effect of geometrical, physical, and material properties such as the plate dimension, volume fraction index, piezoelectric effect, elastic foundation coefficients, and the square size of the area of the foundation on the free vibration and static bending of piezoelectric functionally graded material plates. These numerical results of this work aim to contribute to scientific knowledge of these smart structures in engineering practice.

An analytical approach for predicting the free vibration and elastic critical load of functionally graded material (FGM) thin cylindrical shells filled with internal pressured fluid is presented in this study. The vibration of the FGM cylindrical shell is described by the Flügge shell theory, where the internal static pressure is considered as the prestress term in the shell equations. The motion of the internal fluid is described by the acoustic wave equation. The natural frequencies of the FGM cylindrical shell under different internal pressures are obtained with the wave propagation method. The relationship between the internal pressure and the natural frequency of the cylindrical shell is analyzed. Then the linear extrapolation method is employed to obtain the elastic critical load of the FGM cylindrical shell from the condition that the increasing pressure has resulted in zero natural frequency. The accuracy of the present method is verified by comparison with the published results. The effects of gradient index, boundary conditions and structural parameters on the elastic critical load of the FGM cylindrical shell are discussed. Compared with the experimental and numerical analyses based on the external pressure, the present method is simple and easy to carry out.
