Abstract:In the present work, a new study on the piezoelectric-based structure by means of Finite Element Method (FEM) is conducted. Currently, the piezoelectric model in the FEM-based commercial software is only applicable via 2D plane stress and 3D solid elements. However, piezoelectric structures are usually manufactured as thin-walled structures, i.e., plates and disks. Therefore, it is more convenient to model a piezoelectric-based structure with 2D shell elements. In this study, FEM with a thermal analogy approac… Show more
