Reduction of Free Edge Peeling Stress of Laminated Composites Using Active Piezoelectric Layers

An analytical approach is proposed in the reduction of free edge peeling stresses of laminated composites using active piezoelectric layers. The approach is the extended Kantorovich method which is an iterative method. Multiterms of trial function are employed and governing equations are derived by...
