Abstract

In present paper, the piezoelectric effect on bifurcation buckling of symmetric FGM porous nanobeam is presented based on a higher-order nonlocal elasticity and strain gradient theory in conjunction with Reddy third-order shear deformation beam theory. The strain energy density and electric enthalpy density functions are used to derive constitutive relations for porous functionally graded, as well as piezoelectric materials. Equations of motion for elastically supported layered FGM nanobeam with diverse distribution of porosity and electro-elastic coupling are derived based on the modified Hamilton’s variational principle. The formulated boundary value problem is analytically solved. For the first time, the effects of porosity distribution, volume of voids, distance between porosity and FGM core surfaces as well as material gradation, layers size, aspect ratio, stiffness of Kerr foundation, and external electric voltage on critical in-plane force, critical porosity and critical voltage were comprehensively presented and discussed. The investigation enables analysis and precise multi-dimensional control of static response of smart beam-like nanostructures widely used in MEMS and NEMS devices.
