Abstract
This paper is concerned with static analysis of simply supported antisymmetricangle-ply plates integrated with a layer of piezoelectric fiber reinforced composite(PFRC) material undergoing nonlinear deformations. The Von Kàrmàn type nonlinearstrain displacement relations and first-order shear deformation theory are usedto formulate the variational model of this electromechanical coupled problem.Subsequently, the Galerkin method is employed to derive the nonlinear algebraicgoverning equations which are solved by employing the Newton–Raphson method.The results suggest the potential use of PFRC material for distributed controlof nonlinear deformations of smart antisymmetric angle-ply composite plates.Particular emphasis has been placed on investigating the effect of variation ofpiezoelectric fiber orientation on the actuating capability of the PFRC layer forcounteracting the nonlinear deformations of the smart antisymmetric angle-ply compositeplates.
