Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to predict the mechanical behavior of a piezoelectric nanoplate under shear stability by taking electric voltage into account in thermal environment.
Design/methodology/approach
Simplified first-order shear deformation theory has been used as a displacement field. Modified couple stress theory has been applied for considering small-size effects. An analytical solution has been taken into account for various boundary conditions.
Findings
The length scale impact on the results of any boundary conditions increases with an increase in l parameter. The effect of external electric voltage on the critical shear load is more than room temperature effects. With increasing aspect ratio the critical shear load decreases and external electric voltage becomes more impressive. By considering piezoelectric nanoplates, it is proved that the temperature rise cannot become a sensitive factor on the buckling behavior. The length scale parameter has more effect for more flexible boundary conditions than others. By considering nanosize, the consideration has led to much bigger critical load vs macro plate.
Originality/value
In the current paper for the first time the simplified first-order shear deformation theory is used for obtaining governing equations by using nonlinear strains for shear buckling of a piezoelectric nanoplate. The couple stress theory for the first time is applied on the nonlinear first-order shear deformation theory. For the first time, the thermal environment effects are considered on shear stability of a piezoelectric nanoplate.
