The objective of the present work is the development of a one-dimensional computational model of a curved metastructure of piezoelectric material in a bimorph configuration. The model will be able to calculate the dynamic response of the metastructure in the 3 dimensions of the space, accurately and with low computational cost. It derives from the theory of linear elasticity and general piezoelectricity, and is obtained through finite element discretization of a weak formulation, obtained based on the Hamilton Principle for electromechanical systems.
