a b s t r a c t This paper is devoted to the study of an electromechanical model for a linear transversely inhomogeneous anisotropic rod made of piezoelectric symmetry class 2 materials. The materials in this class include, among many others, Barium Titanate (BT), Lead Zirconium Titanate (PZT) and Polyvinylidene Fluoride (PVDF). For that purpose, we use asymptotic analysis in order to derive from the 3D piezoelectricity problem a reduced model, without making any a priori assumptions of geometrical or mechanical nature. This process involves considering the diameter of the cross section h as small parameter, the assumption of existence of asymptotic expansions of the unknowns (displacements field and electric potential) and the characterization of their respective leading terms as the unique solutions of limit reduced coupled equations. Finally, the validity of the limit reduced model is supported by providing rigorous convergence results. © 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

1. Introduction The so-called “intelligent structures”, i.e. those that are able to adapt in an automatic way when submitted to external actions in order to provide an optimal behavior, play an increasing role in the framework of nowadays security and wellbeing tools, and their importance will certainly increase in the near future. The use of piezoelectric materials is a strategy that has been used with considerable success in the development of new materials and technologies for the production of these structures. The piezoelectric effect is an electromechanical property that is exhibited by many materials: when the material is deformed by the action of external forces or pressure, an electric field appears – direct piezoelectric effect – and conversely, when subject to an electric potential, the material suffers a deformation – inverse piezoelectric effect. This reciprocity provides both an efficient sensor capacity and the possibility of acting over large portions of structures without a considerable weight increase. For more complete information on the properties and use of piezoelectric materials see, for example, Banks et al. (1996); Ikeda (1990); Nye (1985); Royer and Dieulesaint (2000); Taylor et al. (1985). More specifically, information about traditional piezoelectric beam theories can be consulted in Bellis and Imperiale (2014); Bisegna (1998); Rovenski and Abramovich (2009). ∗

From the above considerations one easily concludes on the relevance of designing new multifunctional materials (e.g. piezoelectric materials) and, consequently, on the importance of accurately knowing the electromechanical behavior of structures in which these materials are applied. Some important results in this field were successfully obtained by applying two different modeling techniques: homogenization and asymptotic analysis (see Cagnol et al., 2008; Miara et al., 2007 for a review of the state of the art). See in particular, Castillero et al. (1998); Ghergu et al. (2007); Mechkour (2004); Miara et al. (2005) for homogenization of piezoelectric plates and shells and Collard and Miara (2002); Figueiredo and Leal (2006); Rahmoune et al. (1998); Sabu (2002); Sène (2001); Weller and Licht (2002); Weller and Licht (2004) for formal asymptotic analysis to justify lower dimensional constitutive laws for piezoelectric plates, shells and rods. The above cited works were based on relevant and pioneer work in applying homogenization and asymptotic analysis techniques in elasticity problems (linear and nonlinear). See in particular Ciarlet (1980); Collard and Miara (1997); Le Dret and Raoult ´ (1995); Lewinski and Telega (2000); Miara (1994); Sanchez-Hubert and Sanchez-Palencia (1997) for plates, Bermúdez and Viaño (1984a); Cimetière et al. (1988); Mascarenhas and Trabucho (1990); Trabucho and Viaño (1996); Tutek (1987); Tutek and Aganovic´ (1986) for rods, and Caillerie and Sanchez-Palencia (1995); Ciarlet (2000); Ciarlet et al. (1996); Pitkaranta and Sanchez-Palencia (1997) for shells. As it is well known, the classical theories of thin structures obtained from classical formulations are intuitive for understanding, but the a priori assumptions are often mechanically unjustified and can reveal inadequate for the analysis of real structures if those

a priori assumptions are not met. Although the amount of research in the asymptotic analysis field is quite large, only a small number of works exist (as far as we know) devoted to the derivation of models for piezoelectric rods (see Figueiredo and Leal, 2006; Weller and Licht, 2004). Despite the progress made in those papers in order to derive reduced models for piezoelectric beams, the subject is still open to further research. In this framework, our contribution consists in the obtention of a reduced model of a linear transversely inhomogeneous anisotropic rod made of piezoelectric symmetry class 2 materials, by using the asymptotic method introduced by Lions (see Lions, 1973), taking the diameter of the rod cross section h as small parameter, without any a priori hypothesis of geometrical or mechanical nature. The model obtained in this way allows to, simultaneously, justify and/or complement the traditional piezoelectric beam theories (such as those of Euler–Bernoulli, Timoshenko, and Vlasov). Additionally, in the reduced model, to our knowledge for the first time, the electric potential is coupled with first order terms of the asymptotic expansion of the displacements. The present work is organized in the following manner. In Section 2 we show the 3D piezoelectric problem posed in its domain of reference h (the details on the notation used will be specified in the corresponding sections and can be found in tables in the appendix as well) and formulate it in the form of the virtual work principle (see (2.13)): h Find (uh , ϕ h ) ∈ V h (h ) × H 1 (h ), such that ϕ h = ϕˆ h on eD ,   σihj (uh , ϕ h )ehij (vh )dxh + Dhk (uh , ϕ h )Ekh (ψ h )dxh h h   = fih vhi dxh + ghi vhi d h ,

where C h = (Cihjkl ), P h = (Pkih j ) and εh = (εihj ) are the stiffness, piezoelectric and dielectric tensors, respectively. In Section 3, we perform a change of variable and a scaling of the unknowns (to obtain the displacements field u(h) and the electric potential ϕ (h)) and data, so that the virtual work formulation is now posed in a domain independent on h, denoted by . In Section 4, we assume that the scaled unknowns can be written in the form of asymptotic developments, allowing to identify and characterize the corresponding leading terms; this procedure yields the new reduced model, which consists on a set of 1D variational problems for the displacements field and a variational problem for the electric potential and the first order term of the displacement, where some terms are not local. The strong convergence of the unknowns as the small parameter tends to zero is proved in Section 5. This is a key step in order to give a rigorous mathematical justification of the reduced models of Section 4. In Section 6 we undo the change of variable and de-scale the quantities appearing in the reduced model and constitutive equations derived in Section 4 in order to express both in the original reference

domain h and thus have a true physical meaning. We find that the asymptotic expansion of the true displacements field uh = (uhi ) is of the form:

uhα = ξαh + u1h α + O ( h ),

2 uh3 (xh ) = ξ3h − xhβ ∂3h ξβh + u1h 3 + O ( h ),

where the leading term u0h = (u0h ) is characterized by functions ξαh ∈ i 2 h 1 H0 (0, L ), ξ3 ∈ H0 (0, L ), satisfying the purely mechanical stretching and beam equations (see (6.5) and (6.6)):

On the other hand, u1h = (u1h ), the following order term of uh , is of i the following form: h h h u1h α = zα + δα z ,

where wh ∈ R() is the warping function, depending only on the geh , zh ∈ H 1 (0, L ), zh ∈ L2 (0, L ), and ometry and stiffness tensor, while zα 0 3 h r ∈ R() is a function depending on the electric potential, thus giving the coupling between the mechanical and electrical quantities. More specifically, we find that the asymptotic expansion of the true electric potential ϕ h is

ϕ h = ϕˆ 0h + ϕ¯ 0h + O(h2 ), where ϕ¯ 0h ∈ l0 () and the coupled equations for zh , rh and ϕ¯ 0h are given by (see (6.8)–(6.10)):

We then briefly comment on some particular cases, specifically when the cross-section is square, which leads to some practical simplifications, and we finish by giving some conclusions.

The three-dimensional problem Throughout this paper, Latin indices vary over the set {1, 2, 3} and Greek indices over the set {1, 2} for the components of both vectors and tensors. The summation convention on repeated indices will be also used. We denote by Sd the space of second order symmetric tensors on Rd , while “ · ” will represent the inner product on Sd and Rd (d = 2, 3, . . .). Let ω be an open, bounded, connected subset of R2 with Lipschitz continuous boundary γ = ∂ω, having area A(ω). We will study a prismatic rod that we identify with a solid occupying the reference configuration

¯h=ω  ¯ h × [0, L], where h ∈ (0, 1] is very small with respect to the length of the rod L and ωh = hω so that A(ωh ) = h2 A(ω ) is the area of the rod cross section ωh , with boundary γ h = ∂ωh . Denoting the boundary of h by  h = ∂ h , we consider two partitions for ∂ h : firstly, let us define a partition given by the h and  h = γ h × (0, L ), where γ h ⊂ γ h and measurable parts eN eD eD eD h meas(γeD ) > 0; secondly, we consider a partition given by the measurable parts Nh and Dh = 0h ∪ Lh such that meas(Dh ) > 0, where 0h = ω¯ h × {0} and Lh = ω¯ h × {L} are the ends of the rod.

From properties (2.4) it follows that these matrices are definite positive and therefore det C h > 0, det M h > 0 and det N h > 0. For the moment, and until not explicited otherwise, we will not assume that the conditions traduced by (2.6) hold. We suppose that the rod is weakly clamped at the extremities 0h ∪ Lh , which means that the displacement field uh is such that (see e.g. Trabucho and Viaño, 1996)

Lions, 1973) that arises when a strong clamping condition is used - which turns out to be related to the fact that in general a strong clamping of the rod is physically impossible (see e.g. Trabucho and Viaño, 1996 and references therein).

We will study the dependence of the solution uh , ϕ¯ h with respect to h. The technique of change of variable to a fixed domain and subsequent rescaling of the displacement and electric potential will allow us to derive variational problems equivalent to (2.12) and (2.13) where h shows up in an explicit way in the rescaled equations. To start, we perform a change of variable to the reference domain  through the following transformation (see e.g. Trabucho and Viaño, 1996)

The above formulation corresponds to the principle of virtual work. 3. Change of variable to the reference rod  The major geometric feature of a three-dimensional rod is the fact that the largest cross sectional dimension is very small compared with its length (h  L), cause of ill-conditioning of the threedimensional problem. We take advantage of this property to use an asymptotic expansion method (see Lions, 1973) with respect to the

ei j ( v ) =

1 (∂i v j + ∂ j vi ). 2

In order to obtain a problem in  equivalent to (2.12) we proceed as follows (see e.g. Viaño et al., 2005; Viaño et al., 2015) . With the unknown and test displacement fields uh , vh in Vh (h ), we associate the (unknown and test) scaled displacement fields u(h ) = (ui (h )) and v(h ) = (vi (h )) in V() defined by the following scalings valid for all ¯: xh = h (x ), x ∈ 

uα (h )(x ) = huhα (xh ),

u3 (h )(x ) = uh3 (xh ),

vα (h )(x ) = hvα (x ), v3 (h )(x ) = v (x ). h

h

Similarly, the electric potential ϕ¯ h

h

and the test function ψ h

(3.4) (3.5) in  h (h )

are associated with the scaled potential ϕ¯ (h ) and the scaled (test) function ψ (h) in  () using the following scaling valid for all xh = ¯: h (x ), x ∈ 

ϕ¯ (h )(x ) = h−1 ϕ¯ h (xh ),

(3.6)

ψ (h )(x ) = h−1 ψ h (xh ).

(3.7)

Furthermore, we consider the following hypothesis on the magnitude of the data with respect to the diameter of the rod cross-section h:

J.M. Viaño et al. / International Journal of Solids and Structures 81 (2016) 294–310

1. There exist functions fi ∈ L2 () and gi ∈ L2 ( N ), independent of h, such that:



fαh (xh ) = h fα (x ), f3h (xh ) = f3 (x ), for all xh = h (x ) ∈ h , ghα (xh ) = h2 gα (x ), gh3 (xh ) = hg3 (x ), for all xh = h (x ) ∈ Nh .

(3.8) 2. There exists a function ϕˆ ∈ H 1/2 (eD ), independent of h, such that: h ϕˆ h (xh ) = hϕˆ (x ), for all xh = h (x ) ∈ eD .

We also denote by ϕˆ ∈

ϕ (h ) = ϕ¯ (h ) + ϕˆ .

In addition to that, it is assumed that there exist functions Cijkl ∈

L∞ (0, L), and Cijkl , Pkij , ε ij ∈ L∞ (), independent of h, such that:

Cihjkl (xh1 , xh2 , xh3 ) = Ci jkl (x3 ) + hCijkl (x1 , x2 , x3 ), Pkih j (xh ) = Pki j (x ),

εihj (xh ) = εi j (x ),

(3.10)

¯ . We also assume that the for all xh = h (x ), x = (x1 , x2 , x3 ) ∈  properties (2.4)–(2.6) hold when we drop the superindex (take h = 1) and for Cijkl as well. Consequently, there exist tensor fields M, N, M and N such that

Mh (xh1 , xh2 , xh3 ) = M(x3 ) + hM (x1 , x2 , x3 ), Nh (xh ) = N(x3 ) + hN (x1 , x2 , x3 ), xh

Remark 3.1. The Ansatz elastic tensor (3.10) includes the material’s inhomogeneity effects in the piezoelectric response predominantly given by the leading term. However, the elastic tensor also accounts 3D structural parameters (such as grain size for PZT’s, see e.g. Naceur et al., 2014; Su, 1997) effects on the piezoelectric response, through the perturbation introduced by the small parameter h. Note that other authors (e.g. Figueiredo and Leal, 2006) have assumed that there exist functions Cijkl independent of h, such that:

Cihjkl

(x ) = Ci jkl (x ) ∀x =  (x ), h

(3.12)

We shall further comment on the implications of these two different assumptions (see Remark 4.8 and Ref. Viaño et al., 2015). Combining transformation (3.1) with the notations (3.5) and (3.7) we have for all vh ∈ Vh (h ), ψ h ∈  h (h ) and xh = h (x ), x ∈ :

⎧ h h h −2 ⎨eαβ (v )(x ) = h eαβ (v(h ))(x ), eh (vh )(xh ) = h−1 e3β (v(h ))(x ), ⎩ 3hβ h h e33 (v )(x ) = e33 (v(h ))(x ), 

(3.13)

Eαh (ψ h )(xh ) = −∂αh ψ h (xh ) = −∂α (ψ (h ))(x ) = Eα (ψ (h ))(x ),

E3h (ψ h )(xh ) = −∂3h ψ h (xh ) = −h∂3 (ψ (h ))(x ) = hE3 (ψ (h ))(x ). (3.14)

Using the scalings defined previously for the displacement vector and for the electric potential together with the above assumptions and results, we can reformulate the variational problem (2.12) into ¯ independent of h. Assuming another variational problem posed in  from here on that we are dealing with piezoelectric materials of symmetry class 2 (i.e. properties (2.6) hold), we have the following result. Proposition 3.2. Let (u(h ), ϕ¯ (h )) ∈ V () × () be the functions obtained from (uh , ϕ¯ h ) ∈ V h (h ) ×  h (h ), the unique solution of problem (2.12), by transformation (3.1) and scalings (3.4) and (3.6). Bearing in mind (2.6) as well as scalings (3.5) and (3.7)–(3.13),

then (u(h ), ϕ¯ (h )) is the unique solution of the following variational problem:

(u(h ), ϕ¯ (h )) ∈ V () × (),

aˆ(h )((u(h ), ϕ¯ (h )), (v, ψ ))

= lˆ(h )(v, ψ ) ∀(v, ψ ) ∈ V () × (),

(3.15)

where the bilinear form aˆ(h ) and the linear functional lˆ(h ) are defined, respectively, by

    h−4Cαβθ ρ + h−3Cαβθ aˆ(h )((u, ϕ¯ ), (v, ψ )) = ρ eθ ρ (u )eαβ (v )dx     + 4h−2C3α 3β + 4h−1C3α 3β e3α (u )e3β (v )dx      + h−2Cαβ 33 + h−1Cαβ e33 (u )eαβ (v ) + eαβ (u )e33 (v ) dx 33     −1 P3αβ ∂3 ϕ¯ eαβ (v ) − eαβ (u )∂3 ψ dx +h     −1 +2h Pβ 3α ∂β ϕ¯ e3α (v ) − e3α (u )∂β ψ dx      C3333 + hC3333 e33 (u )e33 (v )dx +    + εαβ ∂α ϕ∂ ¯ β ψ dx + h P333 (∂3 ϕ¯ e33 (v ) − e33 (u )∂3 ψ )dx    +h2 ε33 ∂3 ϕ∂ ¯ 3 ψ dx (3.16) 

and

 lˆ(h )((v, ψ )) = −2h−1 Pβ 3α ∂β ϕˆ e3α (v )dx    + fi vi dx + gi vi d  N   − εαβ ∂α ϕ∂ ˆ β ψ dx − h P333 ∂3 ϕˆ e33 (v )dx    − h2 ε33 ∂3 ϕ∂ ˆ 3 ψ dx. (3.17) 

The existence and uniqueness of solution of problem (3.15)–(3.17) is consequence of Lax–Milgram Lemma, since aˆ(h ) is (V ×  )-elliptic and both aˆ(h ) and lˆ(h ) are (V ×  )-continuous, as the reader can easily check having in mind properties (2.4), the boundness of C, C , P, ε, f and g, and that 0 < h ≤ 1. We now consider the following scalings for the stress tensor σ (h ) = (σi j (h )) and the electric displacement ¯, vector D(h ) = (Di (h )), valid for all xh = h (x ), x ∈ 

⎧ h h 2 h h ⎪ ⎨σαβ (x ) = h σαβ (h )(x ), σ3α (x ) = hσ3α (h )(x ), h h σ33 (x ) = σ33 (h )(x ), ⎪ ⎩Dh (xh ) = D (h )(x ), Dh (xh ) = h−1 D (h )(x ). α 3 α 3

(3.18)

From transformation (3.1) and scalings (3.13)–(3.14) and (3.18), the variational problem (2.13) and the constitutive law (2.3) allow to deduce the following scaled principle of virtual work and scaled consti¯. tutive law posed in  Proposition 3.3. Problem (3.15)–(3.17) is formally equivalent to

Let VBN () be the space of Bernoulli–Navier displacements defined by

(4.1)

ϕ¯ (h ) = ϕ¯ 0 + hϕ¯ 1 + h2 ϕ¯ 2 + · · ·, ϕ¯ i ∈ (),

(4.2)

where the successive coefficients of the powers of h are independent of h . Since ϕ¯ (h ) = ϕ (h ) − ϕˆ , then (4.2) leads to

ϕ (h ) = ϕ 0 + hϕ¯ 1 + h2 ϕ¯ 2 + · · · ,

(4.3)

with ϕ 0 = ϕ¯ 0 + ϕˆ . In view of (3.20), the asymptotic developments (4.1) and (4.3) induce the following formal expansions for tensors σ (h) and D(h)

with σ q = (σ i j ) and D p = (D j ) independent of h. Inserting developments (4.1)–(4.4) into problem (3.19) results in a set of variational equations that must be satisfied for all h > 0 and consequently the terms at the successive powers of h must be zero. This procedure yields the following problems at the successive powers of h for all (v, ψ ) ∈ V() ×  (): q

(4.18)

Theorem 4.1. Let u(h) be given by (4.1). The zeroth order term u0 is an element of the space of Bernoulli–Navier displacements:

u0α (x1 , x2 , x3 ) = ξα (x3 ), u03 (x1 , x2 , x3 ) = ξ3 (x3 ) − xβ ξβ (x3 ),

ξα ∈ H02 (0, L ), ξ3 ∈ H01 (0, L ).

A necessary and sufficient condition for problem (4.26) to have solutions u2 ∈ V() is that u0 ∈ VBN () be such that ξ α ∈ H3 (0, L), ξ 3 ∈ H2 (0, L) and that s, sα ∈ H1 (0, L).

It is easy to show that (4.29) is equivalent to the Equation (4.26). Fur2 ther, we verify that uˆ (x3 ) also solves (4.25). On the other hand, as u0 ∈ VBN (), Eq. (4.29) can be written in differential form

sα ∈ H1 (0, L). Furthermore, the boundary condition for u2α (cf. (3.3)) leads to (4.28) for x3 = 0 and x3 = L. Conversely, taking u0 ∈ VBN () such that ξ α ∈ H3 (0, L), ξ 3 ∈ H2 (0, L), and s, sα ∈ H1 (0, L) now of the form (4.28) for all x3 ∈ (0, L), then (4.27) implies that u2α ∈ H 1 () verifies the boundary condition (3.3). Finally, from (4.11), (4.22) and −2 = 0.  (4.26) we conclude that σαβ From (4.27) it follows that in general u2

Remark 4.4. α does not vanish at the rod ends, for that would require that both ξβ and ξ3 vanish there. Therefore, if we had chosen strong boundary conditions in the definition of V(), then we would not be able to ensure that u2 ∈ V() (the well-known “ boundary layer phenomenon” ) and consequently −2 = 0. that σαβ As a result of the previous discussion, we will be able to obtain variational problems that have ξ α and ξ 3 as unique solutions. Theorem 4.5. It is verified that u0 ∈ VBN () is the unique solution of the following variational problem:

Remark 4.8. In the case of taking assumption (3.12) instead of (3.10), we can still formulate the problem (4.25) (the coefficients Cαβθ ρ now depending also on x1 , x2 ) which has an unique solution in V 2m (ω ). The difference is that we cannot give explicitly u2 in terms of u0 as in (4.27). Following Theorem 3.1 in Girault and Raviart (1986), we have to introduce two auxiliary functions θ α ∈ H1 (ω) a.e. in (0, L) and 2 eθ ρ (uˆ ) = −C˜θ ραβ (Cαβ 33 e33 (u0 ) + θ ρ ) in

4.2. Characterization of u1 and ϕ 0 (4.38)

Notice that it is positive and bounded (cf. (2.7) and (2.8)). Proof. Problem (4.36) follows from variational Eq. (4.9) taking v ∈ VBN () and ψ = 0. Furthermore, after some calculations (4.14) becomes (4.37). 

We start this section by introducing the space V1 () formed by all the infinitesimal rigid displacements of the set  in the transversal directions:

V 1 () = {v ∈ V () : eαβ (v ) = 0}. In Trabucho and Viaño (1996) it is proved that V1 () coincides with the following space :

Again, it can be shown that these norms are equivalent to the usual H1 -norm. We now define the warping function w ∈ R() as the unique solution of the variational problem (see e.g. Trabucho and Viaño, 1996, p. 700)

Bearing in mind the previous definitions, we turn to the characterization of u1 and ϕ 0 . In (4.22), we obtained that eαβ (u1 ) = 0. Therefore, we can characterize the transverse components of u1 as follows (see e.g. Trabucho and Viaño, 1996)

u1α = zα + δα z,

zα , z ∈ H01 (0, L ).

(4.49)

Moreover, by taking v ∈ V1 () in (4.8) and v = 0 in (4.9), and considering (4.12), (4.15) and (4.23) we get, respectively,



 



2C3α 3β e3β (u1 ) + Pβ 3α ∂β ϕ 0 e3α (v )dx = 0,

are coupled. In fact, we have the follow-

ˆ = (uˆi ) ∈ [L2 ()]3 be of the form (4.49) and ϕ 0 ∈ Theorem 4.9. Let u  l () . Then uˆ is a solution of (4.50) if and only if

uˆ3 = −r − z3 − xα zα − wz ,

In view of the previous regularity result we conclude that although (4.49) implies that u1α ∈ H 1 (), we can only ensure that u13 ∈  L2 (0, L; H 1 (ω )). Furthermore, ω u13 dω vanishes at the rod ends as  1 long as z3 ∈ H0 (0, L ), but in general this is not the case for ω xα u13 dω. 1 Therefore, we cannot ensure that u ∈ V(), traducing a “ boundary layer phenomenon” . On the other hand, the regularity result obtained for u13 implies that U ∈ L2 (0, L; H1 (ω)) - cf. (4.54) - and therefore from (4.55) we can only guarantee that ϕ 0 is in  l (), not in  (). Hence, ϕ¯ 0 = ϕ 0 − ϕˆ ∈ l0 (). Nevertheless, even when u1 ∈ V(), the characterization of u1 done so far still holds, in particular as far as Eqs. (4.49) and (4.56) are concerned. This will allow to use Eqs. (4.50) and (4.51) to derive variational problems for ϕ¯ 0 .

Corollary 4.10. Let u1α , the transverse component of u1 , be of the form (4.49) and let u1 verify (4.50). Then the axial component u13 is such that

where z3 is an arbitrary function of x3 , leading to (4.52 ). From (4.52) we conclude that since r ∈ L2 (0, L; H1 (ω)), zα , z ∈ H01 (0, L ) and w ∈ H1 (ω), then z3 ∈ L2 (0, L). The converse result is immediate. 

where z3 ∈ L2 (0, L). Furthermore, (4.15) becomes

r (x3 ) ∈ Q (ω ) such that for a.e.x3 ∈ (0, L ) :   C3α 3β ∂β r (x3 )∂α ρ dω = Pβ 3α ∂β ϕ 0 (x3 )∂α ρ dω, ω

Finally, from (4.60) we also obtain that z satisfies (4.57). We note that if ϕ 0 is given, then the solution of (4.57) is unique since J is bounded and positive.  Remark 4.12. From the previous results we conclude that in general it is not possible to obtain the elasticity result z = 0 (see e.g. ÁlvarezDios and Viaño, 1993a; 1993b; Trabucho and Viaño, 1996). However, we can prove that this evidence happens when we take ϕ 0 = ϕ 0 (x3 ).

In this section we will provide a strong convergence result. Since we will need a mixed formulation to prove some results, in this section we have to invert the constitutive laws (2.3).

Proof. The proof is divided into 7 steps, numbered (i) to (vii). Step (i): We first show that there exists a constant c (ϕˆ ) > 0, depending only the applied potential ϕˆ , such that, for all h ∈ (0, 1):

u(h ) 21, + |e˜(h )|20, + |E¯ (h )|20, ≤ c(ϕˆ ),

respectively. The weak convergence results (5.11) and (5.12) follow straightforwardly from (5.13) taking into account that ϕ (h ) = ϕ¯ (h ) + ϕˆ , E˜ (h ) = E¯ (h ) + Eˆ (h ) and Eˆ (h ) = (−∂1 ϕˆ , −∂2 ϕˆ , −h∂3 ϕˆ ) →

Step (iii): There exist subsequences of (u(h))h > 0 and (ϕ (h))h > 0 still denoted the same way, and e˜ ∈ M 1 (), E˜ ∈ M 2 () such that

V T () = {v ∈ V RD () : vα = sα ,

v3 = −xα sα , sα ∈ H01 (0, L )},

which are the the subspaces of admissible rotations and translations, respectively. We note that |e3β ( · )|0,  is a norm for VR () but not for VRD (). In order to overcome this difficulty, we can think of using the quotient space V˙ RD () := V RD ()/V T (), where the induced application

˙ |||v||| = |e3β (v )|0, , ∀ v˙ = v + V T () ∈ V˙ RD (), is a norm. Theorem 5.1. Let (u(h ), ϕ¯ (h )) ∈ V () × () be the solution of the scaled problem (3.15)–(3.17) and assume that (5.6) holds. Then, there

e3α (u ) = eαβ (u ) = 0 (i.e., u ∈ V BN ()), E˜3 = 0.

(5.15) (5.16)

The obtention of (5.14) is straightforward. Indeed, from (5.10) and (5.12) we deduce that there exist (e˜αβ , e˜3α , e˜33 , E˜α , E˜3 ) ∈ M (), which is the weak limit of a subsequence of

(h−2 eαβ (u(h )), h−1 e3α (u(h )), e33 (u(h )), Eα (ϕ (h )), hE3 (ϕ (h ))),

still denoted by the same way. Also, from (5.9) and the uniqueness of the limit as h → 0, we deduce that (5.15) holds. Similarly, from (5.11) we obtain (5.16). Step (iv): Let ((σ (h), D(h)), (u(h), ϕ (h))) be the solution of the mixed variational problem (5.1)–(5.3). Then, there exists a constant C = C (ϕˆ ) > 0, independent of h, such that, for all 0 < h ≤ 1:

S33 (h ) 0, ≤ C,

Sα3 (h ) 0, ≤ C,

Sαβ (h ) 0, ≤ C,

Tα (h ) 0, ≤ C, T3 (h ) 0, ≤ C.

(5.17) (5.18)

Moreover, there exists a subsequence, still parameterized by h, and there exist ∈ M1 () and T ∈ M2 (), such that:

S33 (h )  33 ,

Sα 3 ( h )   α 3 ,

Sαβ (h )  αβ ,

Multiplying Eq. (5.2) by h, taking the test function v ∈ VRD () and passing to the limit as h → 0, we find



3α e3α (v¯ )dx = 0 ∀v¯ ∈ V RD ().



(5.30)

Therefore, from (5.28)–(5.30) we get (5.26). The relations (5.27) follow from the inversion of (5.21)–(5.25). Step (vi): The following characterizations hold:

e˜θ ρ = eθ ρ (u2 ), e˜33 = e33 (u0 ), e˜3β = e3β (u1 ), E˜β = Eβ (ϕ 0 ). (5.31) Moreover, −2 αβ = σαβ ,

e˜3α = 2C¯3α 3θ 3θ + P¯θ 3α Tθ ,

Moreover, since eαβ : V 2m (ω ) → [L2 (ω )]2×2 and e3β : V˙ RD () → s [L2 ()]2 are weakly continuous applications, by using the closed graph theorem (see, for example Ref. Brézis, 1983) we find that

Since  () is dense in  l0 (), the previous equation is also valid for all (v, ψ¯ ) ∈ V BN () × l0 (). Now, we multiply Eq. (5.2) by h2 . Let us now define the space of horizontal displacements V H () = H 1 (0, L; V 2m (ω )). By choosing v3 = 0 and (vα ) ∈ VH (), and passing to the limit as h → 0, we obtain









Taking v ∈ VBN () in (5.2) and passing to the limit when h → 0, we obtain

Indeed, (5.17) and (5.18) follow from (5.7) and (5.8) and (5.4) and (5.5). Moreover, (5.19) and (5.20) is an immediate consequence of (5.17) and (5.18). Furthermore, by choosing τ33 = τ3α = d3 = dα = 0 as test functions in (5.1), multiplying by h−2 and passing to the limit, we deduce (5.21) in L2 (). Proceeding similarly, we obtain (5.22)– (5.25).

Having in mind (5.15), (5.16) and (5.34), the ellipticity in (5.35)–(5.36) gives (5.31). Consequently, from (4.11), (4.12), (4.14), (4.15), (4.17) and (5.27), we can deduce (5.32)–(5.33). Step (vii): The following strong convergences hold:

This result holds under the assumption (3.10). Regarding the electric potential, we have showed that even if no conditions are imposed onthe dependence of C, P and ε with respect  to x, the element ϕ¯ 0 , r, z ∈ T () is the unique solution of the 3D variational (limit) problem (4.63)–(4.65). 6.1.

We now return to the original rod h and define the following spaces (cf. (4.44), (4.45) and (4.61)):

Remark 6.2. Assume that ∂βh ϕˆ h = ∂βh ϕ¯ 0h = 0, i.e., both the applied potential and the first order component of the electric potential ϕ h distributed on the beam depend only on x3 . In this case, the previous equations give

The main result in this paper is the model shown in Eqs. (6.5)– (6.7). From (6.5)–(6.6) we observe that the electric potential has no effect on the zeroth order components of the bendings ξαh and the stretching ξ3h . This effect only appears on higher order terms as we can see from (6.7). Unfortunately, unless a specific dependence of ϕ h on (xh1 , xh2 ) is established, we cannot reduce (6.7) to a set of onedimensional expressions as we did for the zeroth order displacements. Still, by taking particular cases of transversal section ωh we can give a strong formulation of (6.7) as a set of two-dimensional expressions, as shown in (6.11). There we see that some of the terms are still global since they involve an integration over the whole transversal section. This is a remarkable difference with our previous work Viaño et al. (2015) (the electric potential was applied at the beam ends), where in the limit model the stretching was coupled with the electric potential, even for the zeroth order terms, and that the set of equations was reduced to one-dimensional expressions (despite having some global terms acting as coefficients). We ended this work by showing two interesting particular cases. In Remark 6.2 we show that a trivial case is obtained when the potential depends only on the axial coordinate, and in Remark 6.3 we show the equations for the homogeneous isotropic case.
