Semi-Analytical Solution for Vibration of Nonlocal Piezoelectric Kirchhoff Plates Resting on Viscoelastic Foundation

Semi-analytical solutions for vibration analysis of nonlocal piezoelectric Kirchhoff plates resting on viscoelastic foundation with arbitrary boundary conditions are derived by developing Galerkin strip distributed transfer function method. Based on the nonlocal elasticity theory for piezoelectric materials and Hamilton's principle, the governing equations of motion and boundary conditions are first obtained, where external electric voltage,...
