Abstract
Analytical solutions for the static three-dimensional deformations of multilayered piezoelectric rectangular plates are obtained by using the Eshelby-Stroh formalism. The laminated plate consists of homogeneous elastic or piezoelectric laminae of arbitrary thicknesses. The equations of static, linear, piezoelectricity are exactly satisfied at every point in the body. The analytical solution is in terms of an infinite series; the continuity conditions at the interfaces and boundary conditions at the edges are used to determine the coefficients. The formulation admits different boundary conditions at the edges and is applicable to thick and thin laminated plates. Results are presented for thick piezoelectric plates with two opposite edges simply supported and the other two subjected to various boundary conditions. [S0021-8936(00)01803-1]
