Abstract
This paper considers the surface effect through the surface and bulk electric Gibbs free energy. The analytical expressions are derived for the effective elastic, dielectric and piezoelectric modulus for nano-structural elements in electromechanical coupling problems. Numerical examples for PZT are given to illustrate the size effects on the electromechanical properties of nano-particles, nanowires and nano-films quantitatively. The solution shows that the electromechanical properties of piezoelectric nano-material are size-dependent but the size effects on the elastic property and dielectric property are different.
