Abstract:Purpose
To establish a smart thin plate in which structural health monitoring (SHM) and active vibration control purposes are integrated, the locations of attached piezoelectric ceramic (PZT) actuators as well as their applied normalized voltage are investigated.
Method
Normal strains of such coupled electro-mechanical systems are defined using Kirchoff's classical laminate plate theory (CLPT), and then, by Ritz solution, these normal strains are converted… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
