... the desired result. From a practical point of view, continuously distributed self-stresses cannot be realized. Therefore, we discuss the application of discretely placed piezoelectric actuators to approximate the continuous distribution in this part. Using piezoelectric patch actuators requires...

...Lin-Quan Yao; Li Lu The eight-node solid-shell finite element models have been developed for the analysis of laminated composite plate/shell structures embedded with piezoelectric actuators and sensors. To resolve the locking problems of the solid-shell elements in laminated materials and improve...

... the current model are correlated with experimental results. The static deflection of a cantilever beam with surface-bonded piezoelectric actuators is analyzed by implementing the current constitutive relations. Numerical results reveal that hysteresis is an important issue in the application of piezoceramics...
