Influence of flexoelectricity on coupled electromechanical response of 2D MXene/graphene-based hybrid piezocomposites

Abstract This study investigates the influence of flexoelectricity on the coupled electromechanical behavior of MXene/graphene-based hybrid piezocomposite (MGHPC) plates. We developed an analytical model based on Navier’s solution and Kirchhoff’s plate theory, as well as an approximate model based o...

description Abstract This study investigates the influence of flexoelectricity on the coupled electromechanical behavior of MXene/graphene-based hybrid piezocomposite (MGHPC) plates. We developed an analytical model based on Navier’s solution and Kirchhoff’s plate theory, as well as an approximate model based on the Ritz method for validation purposes. A three-phase micromechanical modeling is developed for determining the effective properties of MGHPC composed of 2D MXene and graphene nano-reinforcements embedded in an epoxy matrix. These micromechanical models were implemented to predict the static and dynamic electromechanical response of MGHPC plates subject to various edge support and loading conditions. Both the analytical and approximate solutions provided unequivocal evidence of the profound impact of the flexoelectric effect on the bending and modal analysis of MGHPC nanoplates. The flexoelectric effect enhanced the stiffness of the nanoplate, irrespective of the support condition. This implies that MGHPC plates can be tailored for precise resonance frequencies and static deflection within nanoelectromechanical systems. This can be achieved by manipulating parameters such as boundary conditions and geometric attributes, including plate thickness/aspect ratio and graphene/MXene nano-reinforcements volume fractions.
