Abstract: A new efficient electromechanically coupled geometrically nonlinear (of von Karman type) zigzag theory is developed for buckling analysis of hybrid piezoelectric beams, under electrothermomechanical loads. The thermal and ...

Abstract: Two-dimensional (2D) exact piezoelasticity and one-dimensional coupled zigzag theory solutions are presented for vibration of initially stressed simply-supported cross-ply symmetrically laminated hybrid ...
