Abstract:The studies on vibration frequency as well as loading capacity of slender systems are very important issues in the design process. Integration of smart materials with the host structures allows one to create constructions which are able to adjust to the different conditions. The piezo material belongs to the smart materials group. Application of voltage to the piezoparts leads to induction of forces which can cause prestressing of the host structure. The prestressing with the use of piezoceramic elements is a … Show more
