Vibration Analysis of Composite Laminate Plate Excited by Piezoelectric Actuators

Piezoelectric materials can be used as actuators for the active vibration control of smart structural systems. In this work, piezoelectric patches are surface bonded to a composite laminate plate and used as vibration actuators. A static analysis based on the piezoelectricity and elasticity is conducted to evaluate the loads induced by the piezoelectric actuators to the host structure. The load...

Resolution composite shell with a layer of piezoelectric vibration analysis

In this paper, the vibration of composite cylindrical shell with piezoelectric layers in the interior and exterior surfaces is investigated. The composite shell without piezoelectric layers can be studied and compared the results with the results of other researchers, the cylindrical shell laminated with layers of piezoelectric vibration checked. The result is a three-dimensional elasticity equ...

Control of Plate Vibrations by Means of Piezoelectric Actuators

We consider initial and boundary value problems modelling the vibrations of a plate with piezoelectric actuator. The simplest model leads to the Bernoulli-Euler plate equation with right hand side given by a distribution concentrated in an interior curve multiplied by a real valued time function representing the voltage applied to the actuator. We prove that, generically with respect to the cur...

Deflection of Cross-Ply Composite Laminates Induced by Piezoelectric Actuators

The coupling effects between the mechanical and electric properties of piezoelectric materials have drawn significant attention for their potential applications as sensors and actuators. In this investigation, two piezoelectric actuators are symmetrically surface bonded on a cross-ply composite laminate. Electric voltages with the same amplitude and opposite sign are applied to the two symmetri...
