Three-dimensional active-control hygrothermal dynamic behavior of PFMLs structure subjected to laser heat treatment with dual-ellipse distribution form

Abstract

Based on three-dimensional transient thermal conduction theory, the refined plate theory and Hamilton variational principle, the constitutive equations, geometrical equations, and governing equations for fiber metal laminates with piezoelectric layer (PFMLs) under hygrothermal environment is presented. Subsequently, the Newmark method and Galerkin method are used to solve the governing equations which in terms of displacement functions. The results show that electric potential function, fiber orientation, external load as well as thickness ratio have great influence on the deflection as well as normal stress. The selection of (45°/0°) fiber orientation is more resistance to deformation and normal stress.
