Studies on thermo-electro-mechanical coupling bandgaps of a piezoelectric phononic crystal nanoplate with surface effects

摘要

Applying surface piezoelectricity theory and plane wave expansion (PWE) method to the model of Kirchhoff plate, the calculation method of band structure of a piezoelectric phononic crystal (PC) nanoplate with surface effects is proposed and formalized. In order to investigate the bandgap properties of first order in the nanoplate in detail, the corresponding influence rules of thermo-electro-mechanical coupling fields, surface effects and geometric parameters on bandgaps are studied. During the researches, temperature variation, electrical voltage and external axial force are picked as the influencing parameters corresponding to thermo-electro-mechanical coupling fields. Residual surface stress and material intrinsic length are chosen as the influencing parameter related to surface effects. Lattice constant, radius of PZT-4 hole and thickness of nanoplate are picked as the influencing parameters of geometric parameters. All the results are expected to be helpful for the design of micro and nanodevices based on piezoelectric periodic nanoplates.
