Abstract:
Based on the new modified couple stress theory and considering the flexoelectric effect of the piezoelectric layers， the Euler Bernoulli nano-beam model of composite laminated materials driven by electrostatically fixed supports at both ends is established. The nonlinear differential governing equations and boundary conditions are derived by the Hamilton principle. The generalized differential quadrature method （GDQM） and the Newton Raphson method are used to numerically solve the differential governing equations. The influence of flexoelectric effect on the static and the dynamic pull-in characteristics of laminated nano-beams is analyzed. The results of the numerical calculation are in a good agreement with those in the literature when the model degenerated into a nano-beam model without flexoelectric effect. The stacking sequence， length scale parameter l and piezoelectric layer applied voltage Vp of the composite will affect the pull-in voltage， frequency and time-domain response of the structure. Given that the flexoelectric effect will reduce the pull-in voltage and dimensionless natural frequency of the structure， the maximum dimensionless displacement at the midpoint of the beam and the period of time-domain response should be increased.
