Abstract
Chaos in piezoelectric composite laminated beams has significant implications in the design of this model. Some results for this model have been obtained numerically. With the energy-phase method and numerical simulations, global dynamics of piezoelectric composite laminated beams is investigated in this paper. The average equation of the piezoelectric composite laminated beam is obtained by the normal form theory. The existence of multipulse homoclinic orbits for undisturbed and dissipative cases is analyzed by the energy-phase method, and the mechanism of chaotic motion of the system is given. The effect of the dissipation factor on pulse sequence and layer radius is studied in detail. The chaotic motion of the system is verified by numerical simulations.
