Influence of different embedding methods on flexural and actuation performance of piezoelectric intelligent structures

Abstact Embedding piezoelectric materials as actuators or sensors into structures to form intelligent is a research hotspot. Piezoelectric should not only have good sensing and actuation performance, but also ensure mechanical performance. The influence of forming cutting embeddings macro fiber composites (MFC) on the flexural properties composite curved shell was studied by simulation experiment. performance evaluated using three-point bending test, simulating deformation cantilever beam. Compared with embedding, embedding destroys continuity fiber, resulting in reduction strength structure. However, it exhibits Simultaneously, ply direction studied.
