A 3-NODE PIEZOELECTRIC SHELL ELEMENT FOR LINEAR AND GEOMETRICALLY NONLINEAR DYNAMIC ANALYSIS OF SMART STRUCTURES

Composite laminates consisting of passive and multi-functional materials represent a powerful material system. Passive layers could be made of isotropic materials or fiber-reinforced composites, while piezoelectric ceramics are considered here as a multi-functional material. The paper is focused on...
