Abstract

Analytical formulations are presented for Saint-Venant's torsion of orthotropic piezoelectric hollow members. It is assumed that the cross-section consists of straight and curved segments with the same thickness. Governing equations are based on Prandtl's stress and electric displacement potential functions. Some examples are solved using the presented formulations and verified by the finite element method solutions. The results show the accuracy of the present method for torsional analysis of thin- to moderately thick-walled hollow bars.
