The objective of this study is a static analysis of smart piezoelectric ceramic plane which has infinite length and width and constant thickness. This plate has been studied by six various piezoelectric materials, the polarization direction assumed towards the third direction and loading was based on applying the stress on the upper and lower sides of the plate. Also, the analysis was conducted in both open and short circuits state according to the laws of nature. Two commercial software Abaqus and Ansys were used for the analysis, and the results were compared for all situations and materials. The results showed that the mechanical and electrical quantities had not been affected by the thickness of the piezoelectric ceramic plane, and among the piezoelectric materials, PZT5H material has the most electromechanical dependency.
