TREFFTZ PLANE ELEMENT OF PIEZOELECTRIC PLATE WITH p-EXTENSION CAPABILITIES
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper is concerned with the development of Trefftz p-element for twodimentional piezoelectric materials. Solutions in Stroh formalism for transversely isotropic piezoelectric materials are used for the intra-element displacement and electric potential (DEP) fields together with an independent DEP frame function field along element boundaries. The formulation is based on a modified variational functional in which electric field and strain are taken as basic variables. The final unknowns are the parameters of the frame function field consisting of the usual degrees of freedom (DOF) at corner nodes and an optional number of hierarchic DOF associated with the mid-side nodes. Some numerical examples are considered to show the application of the proposed formulation.

In-plane Band Gaps in a Periodic Plate with Piezoelectric Patches
A plate periodically bonded with piezoelectric patches on its surfaces is considered. The differential quadrature element method is used to solve the wave motion equation for the two-dimensional periodic structure. The method is very simple and easy to implement. Based on the method, band structures for in-plane wave propagating in the periodic piezoelectric plate are studied, from which the fr...

General strategy for developing finite elements of general geometric shape explained on quadrilateral folded plate structure element ensuring invariance properties is presented in this paper. The basic idea of this strategy consists in using the natural coordinate system only for defining the element geometry and performing the element integration in a mapped biunit square. For defining the app...
متن کاملBending Solution for Simply Supported Annular Plates Using the Indirect Trefftz Boundary Method
This paper presents the bending analysis of annular plates by the indirect Trefftz boundary approach. The formulation for thin and thick plates is based on the Kirchhoff plate theory and the Reissner plate theory. The governing equations are therefore a fourth-order boundary value problem and a sixth-order boundary value problem, respectively. The Trefftz method employs the complete set of solu...
متن کاملIndirect Trefftz Method for Solving Cauchy Problem of Linear Piezoelectricity
In this chapter, the indirect Trefftz collocation method is applied to solve the inverse Cauchy problem of linear piezoelectricity. The static analysis of coupled fields in 2D piezoelectric solids is considered. The piezoelectric material is modelled as a homogenous, linear elastic, linear dielectric and transversal isotropic. The T-functions are obtained by the Stroh formalism. The inverse Cau...
