Vibration of piezoelectric nanobeams with flexoelectric effect carrying an attached mass
摘要
Piezoelectric beams are widely used as energy harvesting from mechanical vibration. For nanoscale beams, the flexoelectric effect is remarkable. This paper investigates the vibration of a clamped–clamped nanobeam with flexoelectric and piezoelectric effects carrying a concentrated nanoparticle. A governing equation and associated boundary conditions are derived from Hamilton’s principle. An exact frequency equation is obtained. Further, through the integral equation method, an explicit expression for the fundamental resonance frequency can be given with satisfactory accuracy. A comparison between the exact and approximate resonance frequency is made. Numerical results show the influence of flexoelectricity, piezoelectricity, and attached mass on the resonance frequencies of a vibrating beam-mass system, in particular for nanoscale beams.
