Abstract

In the present article, we give exact solutions for the transient piezothermoelastic problems of rectangular composite plates and cylindrical composite panels bonded to a piezoelectric layer of crystal class mm2, subject to partial heat supply. Numerical calculations are carried out for several smart composite structures bonded to a piezoelectric layer, which is used as a sensor or an actuator. Some numerical results for temperature change, displacement, stress and electric potential distributions in a transient state are shown. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
