Resumen
Nowadays, piezoelectric micro-beam structures are used in various industries, and knowing and analysis of these smart microstructures is important. However, in the modeling of these electromechanical microbeams, the torsion during bending is generally omitted for simplicity. Considering that in some cases, twisting and bending cannot be omitted and must be modeled simultaneously. Therefore, this article presents a coupled bending-torsion model for the first time for static deflection and free vibration analysis of piezoelectric microbeams with nonclassical continuum theories. The governing equations of the motion and boundary conditions of the Timoshenko beam at the micro-scale have been obtained using size-dependent electromechanical theory and Hamilton’s principle. In addition, the Laplace transform is used to solve the static equations, while the generalized differential quadratic (GDQ) method is used to discretize and solve the free vibration equations. In the following, the influence of various parameters, such as the effect of size and geometric conditions, on the static displacements and the natural frequency of the microbeam is discussed.
