The current work deals with the study of a thermo-piezoelectric modified model in the context of generalized heat conduction with a memory-dependent derivative. The investigations of the limited-length piezoelectric functionally graded (FGPM) rod have been considered based on the presented model. It is assumed that the specific heat and density are constant for simplicity while the other physical properties of the FGPM rod are assumed to vary exponentially through the length. The FGPM rod is subject to a moving heat source along the axial direction and is fixed to zero voltage at both ends. Using the Laplace transform, the governing partial differential equations have been converted to the space-domain, and then solved analytically to obtain the distributions of the field quantities. Numerical computations are shown graphically to verify the effect of memory presence, graded material properties, time-delay, Kernel function, and the thermo-piezoelectric response on the physical fields.
