Based on Hamilton's principle and the Rayleigh-Ritz method, a model of a nonlinear dynamic laminated piezoelectric rectangular plate was established, and the governing equations were derived and solved for both the thin-plate and thick-plate models. In the present investigation, the nonlinear constitutive relations of piezoelectric materials were considered and the effects of the nonlinearity on the response of the plate were discovered. The primary resonance of rectangular plate is investigated with the use of the method of multiple scales. The results obtained in the present paper agree very well with the experiment results.
