Smart structures that contain embedded piezoelectric patches areloaded by both mechanical and electrical fields. Traditional plateand shell theories were developed to analyze structures subject tomechanical loads. However, these often fail when tasked with theevaluation of both electrical and mechanical fields and loads. Inrecent years more advanced models have been developed that overcomethese limitations.
Plates and Shells for Smart Structures offers a completeguide and reference to smart structures under both mechanical andelectrical loads, starting with the basic principles and workingright up to the most advanced models. It provides an overview ofclassical plate and shell theories for piezoelectric elasticity anddemonstrates their limitations in static and dynamic analysis witha number of example problems. This book also provides bothanalytical and finite element solutions, thus enabling the readerto compare strong and weak solutions to the problems.
Key features:
* compares a large variety of classical and modern approaches toplates and shells, such as Kirchhoff-Love , Reissner-Mindlinassumptions and higher order, layer-wise and mixedtheories
* introduces theories able to consider electromechanicalcouplings as well as those that provide appropriate interfacecontinuity conditions for both electrical and mechanicalvariables
* considers both static and dynamic analysis
* accompanied by a companion website hosting dedicated softwareMUL2 that is used to obtain the numerical solutions in the book,allowing the reader to reproduce the examples given as well assolve problems of their own
The models currently used have a wide range of applications incivil, automotive, marine and aerospace engineering. Researchers ofsmart structures, and structural analysts in industry, will findall they need to know in this concise reference. Graduate andpostgraduate students of mechanical, civil and aerospaceengineering can also use this book in their studies.
