Abstract
Theoretical analysis of a sandwich cement-based piezoelectric composite is presented based on the theory of piezo-elasticity. The steady-state responses of two kinds of this composite under different loading cases are obtained by the use of displacement method. The effects of piezoelectric phases on the performance of this kind of devices are simulated and discussed. The solutions are compared with both the numerical and experimental results, and good agreements are found. Sandwich cement-based piezoelectric composites have great application potential in civil structure health monitoring. The results obtained in this paper are beneficial to the design of this kind of smart devices.
