Analysis of laminated adaptive plate structures using layerwise finite element models

A general finite element formulation using the layerwise theory is developed for the analysis of laminated plate structures with piezoelectric layers or patches. The formulation considers small deformations and linear elastic material behaviour, and includes full electromechanical coupling. Several...
