As a first endeavour, nonlinear dynamic response of the glass fibre-reinforced​ epoxy (GRE) laminated composite cylindrical shells under an impulse load is investigated based on first-order shear deformation theory (FSDT) shells. Green’s strain and von Kármán hypothesis are assumed to consider geometrical nonlinearity due large in model. A new solution procedure composed differential quadrature...

In this paper a variationally consistent trigonometric shear deformation theory is presented for the free vibration of thick isotropic square and rectangular plate. In this displacement based theory, the in-plane displacement field uses sinusoidal function in terms of thickness coordinate to include the shear deformation effect. The cosine function in terms of thickness coordinate is used in tr...

An efficient spectral element (SE) with electric potential degrees of freedom (DOF) is proposed to investigate the static electromechanical responses of a piezoelectric bimorph for its actuator and sensor functions. A sublayer model based on the piecewise linear approximation for the electric potential is used to describe the nonlinear distribution of electric potential through the thickness of...
