An efficient coupled polynomial interpolation scheme for shear mode sandwich beam finite element

An efficient piezoelectric sandwich beam finite element is presented here. It employs the coupled polynomial field interpolation scheme for field variables which incorporates electromechanical coupling at interpolation level itself; unlike conventional sandwich beam theory (SBT) based formulations a...
