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.

In mathematical physics, the Wentzel–Kramers–Brillouin approximation or Wentzel–Kramers–Brillouin method is a technique for finding approximate solutions to linear differential equations with spatially varying coefficients. An attempt has been made to approximate the velocity of surface seismic wave in a piezo-composite structure. In particular, this article studies the dispersion behaviour of Love-type seismic waves in functionally graded piezoelectric material layer bonded between initially stressed piezoelectric layer and pre-stressed piezoelectric half-space. In functionally graded piezoelectric material stratum, theoretical derivations are obtained by the Wentzel–Kramers–Brillouin method where variations in material gradient are taken exponentially. In the upper layer and lower half-space, the displacement components are obtained by employing separation of variables method. Dispersion equations are obtained for both electrically open and short cases. Numerical example and graphical manifestation have been provided to illustrate the effect of influencing parameters on the phase velocity of considered surface wave. Obtained relation has been deduced to some existing results, as particular case of this study. Variation in cut-off frequency and group velocity against the wave number are shown graphically. This study provides a theoretical basis and practical utilization for the development and construction of surface acoustics wave devices.
