Abstract

The behavior of laminated composite shells with piezoelectric actuators and sensors subjected to external load and electric potential is investigated. The analysis is carried out using the finite element method based on first-order shear deformation theory. An eight nodded degenerated isoparametric shell element with five degrees of freedom at each node is considered. Results are presented for the variation of deflection and stresses in the simply supported laminated composite cylindrical shell panel subjected uniform normal pressure and electric potential.
