In this paper, a Wittrick-Williams algorithm is developed for the spectral element model of an elastic-piezoelectric two-layer active beam. This algorithm may help calculate all the required natural frequencies, which lie below any chosen frequency, without the possibility of missing any due to close grouping or due to the abrupt sign changes of the determinant of spectral element matrix via infinity instead of via zero. A uniform active beam and a partially patched active beam are considered as the illustrative examples to confirm the present algorithm.
