Recent research has been concentrated on a thorough investigation of the vibration evaluation of
functionally graded piezoelectric materials (FGPM), shedding light on the potential for enhancing
structural optimization and controlling deflections and vibrations. Functionally graded piezoelectric
material is a type of advanced composite material possessing diverse characteristics that allow for
customized mechanical and electrical responses. The existing body of academic work extensively
addresses the vibration analysis of functionally graded piezoelectric materials, with a specific focus on
a wide array of facets including material characteristics, geometric parameters, boundary conditions,
and the distinctive features of vibrations. This chapter presents comprehensive literature review of
FGPM fundamental structures, including detailed examinations of the free and forced vibration
responses of functionally graded piezoelectric beams, plates, and shells, thereby providing valuable
insights into the impacts of diverse boundary conditions and material gradation parameters on the
vibration frequencies of these fundamental structures. Recent progress in computational modeling and
experimental validation is emphasized, demonstrating their contribution to improving the precision of
vibration analysis alongside traditional methods. These collective researches serve to deepen our
comprehension of the vibration frequencies and optimization prospects inherent in functionally graded
piezoelectric materials and composites, facilitating the emergence of innovative applications within the
domains of aerospace, automotive engineering, and energy capture systems.
Keywords: Vibration analysis of FGPM, power law, exponential law, FGPM beam, FGPM plate, FGPM shells
