Changes in Frequencies of a Laminated Plate Caused by Embedded Piezoelectric Layers

چکیده
T HE three-dimensional linear theory of elasticity is used to delineate the effect of the thickness, stiffness, and mass density of piezoelectric (PZT) layers on the ® rst ® ve natural frequencies of a simply supported graphite/epoxy laminated plate with PZT layers embedded in it. Platelike smart structures are usually made of PZT patches either embedded in or bonded to the bounding surfaces of a plate. In this Note, an attempt is made to ascertain changes in the natural frequencies of the underlying plate due to the PZT patches.
