Equilibrium of a shallow arch subjected to PZT actuators and a deadweight load

The geometrically nonlinear response of a shallow, circular, cylindrical panel under a midspan line load and induced strain actuation is presented. The panel is a laminate of piezoelectric material perfectly bonded to the convex and concave surfaces of a core of passive material. Since the curved ed...
