Abstract
The current study deals with forced vibration analysis of a pre-stressed piezoelectric plate with finite lengths resting on a rigid foundation, exposed to an inclined time-harmonic force. The present investigation is modeled according to a new theoretical consideration in the context of the three-dimensional linearized theory of elasticity for solids under initial stress (TLTESIS). It is assumed that the plate exhibits a polarization effect in both vertical and horizontal directions to the top surface and there is an exact clamping condition at the interface between the plate and the rigid foundation, that is, no jumping in the quantities. For obtaining the governing and boundary condition equations of our problem, the virtual work principle is used according to Hamilton's principle and the piecewise homogeneous body model. The three-dimensional displacement-based finite element model is developed for solving the system of partial differential equations and analyzing the dynamic behavior of the plate. The reliability of the solution procedure is proved by convergence analysis and comparing the results to the current literature. The target of the paper for surveying the numerical results and findings is divided into two sections. The first one presents the influence of the inclination of the dynamic external force on the forced vibration characteristics of the current model. In the second one, the influence of inclination angle, thickness ratio, aspect ratio, and initial stress parameter on the frequency response of the harmonic force are investigated in detail. As a desirable result for the designer, while a decrease in the angle of the force with the vertical axis exceeds the resonant mode of the stress, increasing values of the initial stress prevents that mode.
