Strain gradient and electric field gradient effects in piezoelectric cantilever beams

A piezoelectric beam model with strain gradient and electric gradient effects is proposed. An energy variational principle with strain, strain gradient, electric field, and electric field gradient considered as independent variables is postulated to develop the governing equations and boundary condi...
