Abstract: A new zig-zag coupled theory is developed for hybrid cross-ply plates with some piezoelectric layers using third-order zig-zag approximation for the inplane displacements and sublayer wise piecewise ...

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: It is the contention of the authors that the “zeroth-order” shear deformation theory presented by Ray 1 is mathematically equivalent to Reddy’s third order theory 2. The notation of Ref. 1 ...

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 ...

Abstract: Semi-active control of fixed offshore jacket platforms in shallow water depth using semi-active hydraulic damper (SHD) is presented. The semi-active control uses Bang Bang control algorithm to ...

Abstract: Three-dimensional solution in terms of potential functions is presented for a transversely isotropic piezoelectric clamped circular plate subjected to axisymmetric ther-moelectromechanical load. The ...
