Electro-magnetic effects on nonlocal dynamic behavior of embedded piezoelectric nanoscale beams.

This article investigates vibration behavior of magneto-electro-elastic functionally graded nanobeams embedded in two-parameter elastic foundation using a third-order parabolic shear deformation beam theory. Material properties of magneto-electro-elastic functionally graded nanobeam are supposed to be variable throughout the thickness based on power-law model. Based on Eringen’s nonlocal elasticity theory which captures the small size effects and using Hamilton’s principle, the nonlocal governing equations of motions are derived and then solved analytically. Then, the influences of elastic foundation, magnetic potential, external electric voltage, nonlocal parameter, power-law index, and slenderness ratio on the frequencies of the embedded magneto-electro-elastic functionally graded nanobeams are studied.
