Abstract
This article studies nonlinear behaviors of a two-dimensional beam with piezoelectric patches on it. Governing electromechanical equations of the beam taking into account several coupled piezoelectric patches, at different positions, are derived. Then, spatiotemporal variables of the system are separated. A methodology is proposed, for the detection of different mode functions and corresponding frequencies of the multi-physics beam, via using space equations of the system. As a representative example, a homogeneous beam with a single piezoelectric patch is considered. The paper is followed by consideration of two particular cases: (i) a single mode of the system is in resonance with the direct lateral-base excitation and (ii) two modes of the system present an internal resonance, while the first one is in resonance with the lateral-base excitation. For both cases, the electromechanical system equations are projected on its targeted mode(s). The temporal equations are treated via a multiple scale method leading to detections of its fixed points. The effects of one of the nonlinear coefficients of the piezoelectric patch, on the overall responses of the multi-physics beam, in terms of changing its behavior from hardening to softening (or vice versa), are discussed and commented upon. Moreover, it is shown that the piezoelectric patch is able to control the targeted mode(s) of the system.

Appendix 1
We suppose that the neutral axis of the beam undergoes deformation from an inertial coordinate system \((\mathbf {e}_x,\mathbf {e}_y,\mathbf {e}_z)\) to a local curvilinear coordinate system \((\mathbf {e}_\xi ,\mathbf {e}_\eta ,\mathbf {e}_\zeta )\). The beam presents three Euler-angle rotations, namely \(\chi (s,t)\), \(\theta (s,t)\) and \(\beta (s,t)\), where s stands for the distance along the deformed beam axis measured from the origin and t for the time, see Fig. 22. The absolute angular velocity \(\varPi (s,t)\) for the curvilinear axis system is defined as [21, 22]:
where “\(\ \dot{} \ \)” stands for the time derivative of the argument, i.e., \(\displaystyle {\frac{\partial }{\partial t}}\). With the Kirchhoff’s kinetic analogy [32], the curvature vector \(\rho (s,t)\) can be defined by replacing the time derivatives by the spatial derivatives in Eq. 117; it reads [21, 22]:
where “\( \ ' \ \)” stands for the space derivative of the argument, i.e., \(\displaystyle {\frac{\partial }{\partial s}}\).
It is assumed that the cross section remains straight. Let us study the kinetic of an elementary length ds on the neutral axis due to the deformation. After a transformation \(\digamma (t)\), it becomes \(ds^*\), see Fig. 23. This transformation \(\digamma (t)\) corresponds to change of displacement components in the inertial coordinate to the curvilinear coordinate, i.e., change of (u, v, w) to \((u+du,v+dv,w+dw)\). The components du, dv and dw are defined via the Euler angles, as shown in Fig. 23:
The strain e is defined as:
The beam’s neutral axis is supposed to be inextensional, i.e., \(e=0\). Equation 120 reads:
Let us consider a particle P on an arbitrary coordinate of the cross section and a particle C on its neutral axis in the initial configuration of the beam. The local coordinates of the particle P read as \((\eta ,\zeta )\). The particle C is at a distance s from the origin O, as depicted in Fig. 24. C and P are transferred to \(C^*\) and \(P^*\) due to the transformation \(\digamma (t)\) of the beam. Thus, we can write:
or,
For a fixed s, it is also known that:
when \(\times \) stands for the vector product of two vectors. With Kirchhoff’s analogy [32]:
Thus, the deformations of the vectors become:
From the definition of the Green’s strain tensor:
where \(\varvec{\epsilon _{b}}\) is the Green’s strain tensor of the homogeneous beam. From Eq. 126, it is obtained:
neglecting higher-order terms of \(\rho _\wp \) (\(\wp \mapsto \xi ,\zeta ,\eta \)), Eq. 128 becomes:
Appendix 2
The matrix \(\varvec{G}\) of Eq. 38 reads as:
where \(\varvec{O}\) is a \(4\times 4\) zero matrix, and:
with general EI and K, from Eq. 35, related as:
Appendix 3
when \(\varvec{\tilde{O}}\) and \(\varvec{\tilde{0}}\) are \(3\times 3\) and \(3\times 4\) zero matrix, respectively, and:
Appendix 4
1.1 Stability analysis of equilibrium points
Let us perturb \(|a_\tau |\) and \(\alpha _\tau \) linearly in Eq. 81 as:
Separation of the real and imaginary parts leads to:
with:
Then, if the real part of at least one of the eigenvalues of \(\varvec{Inst}\) is positive, the point \((|a_\tau |,\sigma )\) is unstable.
Appendix 5
Appendix 6
Supposing only \(G_2=G_1=0\) imposes that coefficients in Eq. 85 are simplified as:
Equation 84, if \(|a_\tau |\ne 0\), can be written as:
with \(\mathcal {X}=|a_\tau |^2\), \(\gimel _0'>0\) and \(\gimel _2'>0\).
Thus, the discriminant of Eq. 146 is defined as:
From the expression of the constants \(\gimel \) in Eqs. 85 and 145, the discriminant is reduced as:
This way, \(\varDelta _d\) is negative and there is no real solution for \(\mathcal {X}\) except for the special case \(\mathcal {P}_i=0\). This case corresponds to the case when there is no current in the system (see Eqs. 67–69).
Appendix 7
To simplify, we suppose \(c_v= c_w\).
