Non-Linear Analysis of Smart Composite Structural Systems with Embedded Sensors
Abstract
The objective of the research is to develop efficient computational tools for non-linear analysis of smart composites structural systems with embedded smart (e.g., piezoelectric or magnetostrictive particle) layers. The main thrust of the contract is to develop analytical as well as computational (i.e., finite element analysis) procedures for the stress and vibration response of laminated composite plate structures with smart-material layers. The first and second phases of the research was concerned with (1) the theoretical formulation and analytical solutions for vibration suppression of laminated plates and (2) the linear finite element analysis of laminated composite plates with smart-material layers, respectively. This report summarizes the work carried out in the third and last phase of the contract; in particular, it summarizes the linear transient analysis using the FEM and non-linear finite element formulation based on the third-order shear deformation plate theory.
