Abstract
Time-dependent creep response of a smart sphere made of functionally graded piezoelectric material (FGPM) is investigated. The vessel is subjected to an internal pressure, a uniform temperature field, an electric potential and a uniform magnetic field. Under such a loading condition initial elastic stresses are locked in the vessel at zero time. Due to high temperature, creep evolution causes stress redistribution in the sphere which is followed by electric potential redistribution across the thickness of the sphere. History of radial stresses is always reflected by history of electric potential which can be used for condition monitoring of the smart sphere. From the initial elastic stresses it has been found that imposing an electric potential decreases effective stresses. It has also been concluded from history of electric potential that electric potential redistribution is decreasing due to creep evolution and therefore this is followed by increasing effective stresses.
