The displacement field of beam is assumed based on Bernoulli-Euler beam theory. Applying the Hamilton's principle, the governing dynamic equation is established. The influences of applied voltage, foundation coefficient and piezoelectric thickness on the unstable regions are presented. To investigate the accuracy of the present analysis, a compression study is carried out with a known data.}, journal = {International Journal of Mechanical and Mechatronics Engineering}, volume = {4}, number = {2}, year = {2010}, pages = {202 - 206}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/2350}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/38}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 38, 2010}, }
