In engineering and transportation, beams are frequently utilized as structural elements for both static and dynamic loads. This paper focuses on a smart structure method that incorporates ANSYS software for modeling and simulation. Piezoelectric transducers are employed for actuation and sensing throughout the structure. The governing equation of a finite element that converts the mechanical energy of the structure into the electric energy of the piezoelectric material is derived using Hamilton's principle. Debonding of piezoelectric sensors/actuators is caused by structural alterations in sandwich beams, and this leads to a notable fluctuation in both static and dynamic responses. It has been shown that Finite Element Modeling with ANSYS software yields accurate numerical solutions over a broad range of related parameters. The results are displayed and vibration modes are animated by utilizing the graphical post processing capabilities. It has been observed that the material and structural alterations are what cause the increase in natural frequencies. With an input of 1 V, the load is adjusted between 0 and 5000 Hz for every material configuration.
