In this study, the plate which contains piezoelectric prismatic inclusion under bending effect is studied. The plate is simply supported and the electric potential is non-zero (ungrounded) and zero (grounded) configurations are examined. It is aimed to investigate the effect of material selection on the electric potential production of the piezoelectric prismatic inclusion embedded in the plate for both configurations. The mathematical modeling of the problem is formulated using the piecewise-homogeneous body model within the framework of the exact 3D equations of the electro elasticity theory. It is assumed that ideal contact conditions prevail at the interface between the piezoelectric inclusion and the matrix material. The effects of various material of matrix, various material of inclusion and geometric parameters of the plate on the generation of electric potential of the embedded piezoelectric prismatic inclusion for the given boundary conditions, contact conditions and loading condition are examined and discussed for both problems.
