An analytical study of the piezothermoelastic behavior of a functionally graded material (FGM) hollow sphere with integrated piezoelectric layers as a sensor and actuator under the effect of radially symmetric thermo-electro-mechanical loading is carried out. The material properties of the FGM layer are assumed to be graded in the radial direction according to a power law function. Governing differential equations are developed in terms of the components of the displacement field, the electric potential and the temperature of each layer of the smart FGM hollow sphere. The resulting differential equations are solved analytically. Numerical examples are given and discussed to show the significant influence of grading index of material properties and feedback gain on the mechanical–electrical responses. This will be useful for modern engineering design.

In this paper, an exact solution for the equation of two-dimensional transient heat conduction in a hollow sphere made of functionally graded material (FGM) and piezoelectric layers is developed. Transient temperature distribution, as a function of radial and circumferential directions and time with general thermal boundary conditions on the inside and outside surfaces, is analytically obtained for different layers, using the method of separation of variables and Legendre series. The results are the sum of transient and steady-state solutions that depend upon the initial condition for temperature and heat source, respectively. The FGM properties are assumed to depend on the variable r and they are expressed as power functions of r.
