Abstract

Employing higher order shear deformation theory, geometric nonlinear theory, and Hamilton’s principle, a set of nonlinear governing equations for the functionally graded beams with surface-bonded piezoelectric layers is derived. Then, the negative velocity feedback algorithm coupling the direct and inverse piezoelectric effect is used to control the piezoelectric functionally graded beams actively. Using the finite difference method and Newmark method synthetically, the numerical solutions for the nonlinear dynamic equations of functionally graded beams with piezoelectric patches are obtained iteratively. In the numerical examples, the effects of the volume fraction exponent on the nonlinear dynamic responses and amplitude–frequency curves are investigated, and the active control responses of the functionally graded beams with piezoelectric layers under different control gains and volume fraction exponents are analyzed. Some meaningful solutions have been presented.
