Piezoelectric Actuators for Functionally Graded Plates- Nonlinear Vibration Analysis

Thermal buckling analysis of ceramic-metal functionally graded plates

Thermal buckling response of functionally graded plates is presented in this paper using sinusoidal shear deformation plate theory (SPT). The material properties of the plate are assumed to vary according to a power law form in the thickness direction. Equilibrium and stability equations are derived based on the SPT. The non-linear governing equations are solved for plates subjected to simply s...

Finite Element Analysis of Functionally Graded Skew Plates in Thermal Environment based on the New Third-order Shear Deformation Theory

Functionally graded materials are commonly used in thermal environment to change the properties of constituent materials. The new numerical procedure of functionally graded skew plates in thermal environment is presented in this study based on the C0-form of the novel third-order shear deformation theory. Without the shear correction factor, this theory is also taking the desirable properties a...

Vertically Reinforced 1-3 Piezoelectric Composites for Active Damping of Functionally Graded Plates

M ONOLITHIC piezoelectric materials (PZTs) have been widely used as distributed sensors and actuators for developing smart structures with self-monitoring and selfcontrolling capabilities [1–10]. However, their major drawback is low control authority as the magnitude of their electromechanical coefficients is very small. The situation can be improved by using an active constrained layer damping...
