Analysis of piezoelectric cylindrical actuators and 1-3 piezocomposite unit cells

Adaptive structures incorporated with sensors and actuators are increasingly used in many engineering applications. Actuators used in adaptive structures are made out of piezoelectric ceramics, shape memory alloys (SMA), electrorheological fluids (ER fluids) or magnetostrictive materials. Among t...
