Piezoelectric ceramics are used more in the active control of noise and vibration with sensors and actuators. As a result, a one-dimensional homogeneous thermoelastic fixed piezoelectric rod subjected to a moving heat flow has been considered. The heating rod is affected by three fields, namely, thermal, mechanical, and electric potential. In order to design a reliable smart structure, this study is necessary and the thermopiezoelectric behavior of piezoelectric ceramics must be understood clearly. The Laplace transform method is applied to acquire the distributions of stress, deformation, and temperature fields. The effect of heat source velocity and phase lag parameters on the considered physical fields is displayed graphically, and the results are compared with other models of thermoelasticity. The present findings could find possible applications for designing receiving portions of transformers of Rosen type for voltage magnification.
