Abstract

AbstractPresently, most of the research on vibrations of monolithic piezoelectric rods at weak electric fields is restricted to longitudinal oscillations of such structural members where free and forced vibrations have been dealt with and in the case of resonance conditions not only linear but also nonlinear effects within the constitutive relations have been incorporated. On the other hand, bending and torsional vibrations of piezoceramic one‐parametric rods have not been examined yet. The present contribution develops a linear vibration theory of rods with a focus to bending vibrations taking into account rotatory inertia and shear deformation. The governing boundary value problem for beams with both longitudinal and as well transversal polarization is derived, in particular free vibrations are analyzed. Also nonlinear extensions not only of physical nature but also geometrical ones are addressed. A possible technical application is given. (© 2004 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
