Smart structures that contain
embedded piezoelectric patches are loaded by both mechanical and electrical
fields. Traditional plate and shell theories were developed to analyze
structures subject to mechanical loads. However, these often fail when tasked with
the evaluation of both electrical and mechanical fields and loads. In recent
years more advanced models have been developed that overcome these limitations.
Plates and Shells for Smart
Structures offers a complete guide and reference to smart structures under both
mechanical and electrical loads, starting with the basic principles and working
right up to the most advanced models. It provides an overview of classical
plate and shell theories for piezoelectric elasticity and demonstrates their
limitations in static and dynamic analysis with a number of example problems.
This book also provides both analytical and finite element solutions, thus
enabling the reader to compare strong and weak solutions to the problems.
