Abstract

The goal of the present research is an investigation of the smart control and wave propagation examination of a graphene nanoplatelets reinforced (GPLRC) cylindrical micro-shell covered with piezoelectric layers as the sensor and actuator (PLSA) in the framework of an analytical method. The stress and strain components are given based on the first-order shear deformable theory (FSDT), and for accessing the size effects, the nonlocal strain gradient theory is used for obtaining the correct results. The material properties of the GPLRC micro-shell are modeled via modified Halpin–Tsai and the rule of the mixture. The external voltage is applied to the sensor layer, and a Proportional-Derivative (PD) controller is used for sensor output control. The governing equations of the electrically micro-shell are derived via Hamilton’s principle. This work concludes that the PD controller, wave number, applied voltage, and weight fraction of graphene nanoplatelets (GPL) have a significant influence on the wave propagation of the GPLRC cylindrical micro-shell. The remarkable result is that consideration of the PD controller leads to expand the stable area and improve the dynamic behaviors of the smart system.
