摘要
In this paper,free vibration,wave propagation,and bending analyses of a sandwich microbeam integrated with piezoelectric face-sheets resting on Pasternak foundation under electric potential are presented based on the strain gradient theory and Euler–Bernoulli beam theory.The material properties of core are assumed variable along the thickness direction and piezoelectric face-sheets are assumed homogeneous piezoelectric materials.A two-dimensional electric potential distribution along the axial and transverse direction is applied on the face-sheets of microbeam.Hamilton principal is used to derive governing differential equations of motion.Three behaviors of sandwich microbeam including free vibration,wave propagation,and bending analyses are studied in this paper.Some numerical results are presented to capture the effect of important parameters of the problem such as in-homogeneous index,applied voltage,parameters of foundation,and material length scales.The numerical results indicate that the effect of electric potential along the axial direction is very small rather than one along the transverse direction where initial voltage is applied.
