Similarity:
The system studied in this paper consists of thin structure with several piezoelectric patches bonded on its surface. The patches are used as actuators and sensors. Based on Kirchhoff-Love hypothesis, linear constitutive relations, plane stress formulation and Hamilton principle, we have developed a 2D model for this system using the finite element method. It is not a standard 2D model, since the calculation is performed on a structure that does not have symmetries that allow such easy...
