Compressive and thermal postbuckling behaviors of laminated plates with piezoelectric fiber reinforced composite actuators

static analysis of piezoelectric laminated composite plates

the levy-type analytical solution is employed for the problem of bending of cross-ply and antisymmetric angle-ply piezoelectric hybrid laminated plates with at least two simply supported opposite edges. the governing equations of equilibrium are derived in the framework of the first-order shear deformation plate theory. the equations are classified according to the crystallography type of piezo...

Optimal Shape Control of Composite Thin Plates with Piezoelectric Actuators

Emerging technologies in microsensing, microactuation, active airfoils, turbine blades, and large, lightweight, flexible space structures can benefit from piezoelectric actuators for active shape control. Piezoelectric materials develop strain under applied voltage which induces structural deflection. This article presents analytical models, FEM solution, and optimal shape control of composite ...

Cylindrical Bending of Laminated Plates with Distributed and Segmented Piezoelectric Actuators / Sensors

The generalized plane quasistatic deformations of linear piezoelectric laminated plates are analyzed by the Eshelby–Stroh formalism. The laminate consists of homogeneous elastic or piezoelectric laminae of arbitrary thickness and width. The three-dimensional differential equations of equilibrium for a piezoelectric body are exactly satisŽ ed at every point in the body. The analytical solution i...

Buckling Analysis of Rectangular Laminated Composite Plates With An Edge Delamination Under Compressive Load

The buckling analysis of rectangular laminated composite plates with an edge delamination under in-plane compressive loading is performed using the finite element method. Such a plate may be considered as a simplified model of stiffener plates of a stiffened panel. The buckling load and buckling mode are obtained by solving an eigenproblem. In an unconstrained analysis, physically inadmissible ...
