“…Piezoelectric composites combine the characteristics of both inorganic and organic piezoelectric materials. The continuous development of piezoelectric materials has led to their widespread use in capacitors, [19][20][21] sensors, [22,23] low-power electronic devices, [24][25][26] wearable portable electronic devices, [27,28] and implantable biomedical devices. [29] Despite the advantages of piezoelectric materials, it is often challenging to find a single material that can combine flexibility and high piezoelectric properties [30,31] in traditional piezoelectric materials.…”

Piezoelectric materials have wide‐ranging applications owing to their capacity to convert mechanical energy into electrical energy in daily life scenarios. With rapid development in fields such as wearable electronics, intelligent electronic products, and medical equipment, the requirement for the elasticity of piezoelectric materials has become increasingly stringent. However, combining high piezoelectric performance with high elasticity in most conventional piezoelectric materials is challenging, limiting the application of piezoelectric elastomers in complex scenarios. Recently, several piezoelectric elastomer materials with good flexibility, high elasticity, and easy processing ability have been reported, and their applications in soft devices have rapidly developed. In this review, the current state of piezoelectric elastomers and their applications are systematically reviewed. Additionally, an overview of trends in the development of piezoelectric elastomer materials is given, providing a reference for future research in this field.

“…In mechanical, biomechanical, and aerospace domain, polymeric nanocomposite materials are remarkably promoted due to their manageable thermo-mechanical responses and being lightweight. [1][2][3][4] The performance of polymeric nanocomposites is highly impacted by the type and distribution of the utilized nanofiller. [5][6][7][8][9] To enhance electrical, mechanical, and thermal responses of polymers, most commonly graphene nanosheet and carbon nanotube (CNT) have been utilized in numerous engineering applications due to their unprecedented thermal (and electrical) conductivity and Young's modulus.…”

In this paper, the structural damping behavior of axisymmetric nanocomposite cylinders enhanced with randomly oriented graphene nanosheets has been explored by a mesh-free solution. The static responses of such nanocomposite cylinders under internal pressure and exposed to thermal environment are assumed as the initial condition of harmonic vibrations. Using the shape functions of moving least squares (MLS), an axisymmetric mesh-free solution has been developed to approximate the displacement field of the graphene-enhanced nanocomposite (GEN) cylinders. Along the thickness of these cylinders, different nonlinear functionally graded (FG) patterns are considered for the distribution of graphene nanosheets. The mechanical properties of graphene and polymer are considered to vary with temperature, and the overall properties of nanocomposite are calculated using a modified Halpin-Tsai (HS) technique. The effects of thermal environment, graphene content, graphene dispersion, and cylinder dimension on the structural damped harmonic vibrations of axisymmetric GEN cylinders have been examined. The results indicate that the use of graphene nanosheets and their distribution significantly affect the damped harmonic vibrations of axisymmetric polymeric cylinders such that the increase of graphene content results in damped vibrations with higher frequency and shorter stationary time. In addition, thermal environment reduced the frequency of vibrations, but it has an insignificant impact on the stationary time of vibrations.
