Abstract
In this investigation, free vibration of piezoelectric functionally graded nanobeams in the presence of thermal field effects for various elastic boundary conditions is studied. Formulations are established in the framework of nonlocal elasticity theory of Eringen accompanied by Euler–Bernoulli beam theory. Further, the material characteristics are supposed to change through the thickness based on the power law. Discretization of the equations of motion and the relative boundary conditions are carried out by utilizing the differential transformation method. The presented model is validated through obtaining numerical results for conventional boundary conditions in comparison with the corresponding benchmark results. Finally, numerical results are given in details to demonstrate the impact of material gradient, nonlocal effect, piezoelectric voltage, along with temperature changes on vibration characteristic of piezoelectric functionally graded nanobeams, with various elastic boundary conditions.
