Abstract:This article presents the use of isogeometric analysis (IGA) to analyse the behaviour of the functionally graded material (FGM) plate structures with piezoelectric patches. This study investigates the effect of piezoelectric patches on the plate structure made of FGM material as a solid model. Because IGA is based on the NURBS (Non-uniform rational basis spline) approximation, this method describes the exact geometry with the higher-order functions approach. The effectiveness of the present method is to use th… Show more
