Abstract: This paper consists of two parts: (a) a concise summary and discussion is given of the recent contributions of the author in the micromechanics of piezoelectric composites. The underlying theme ...

Abstract: Binary composite media of arbitrary phase geometry are considered. The constituent phases have general anisotropic piezoelectric behavior and contain constant eigenstress and spontaneous polarization ...

Abstract: We consider heterogeneous piezoelectric media in general and multiphase piezoelectric composites in particular. A distribution of statistically homogeneous eigenstress and spontaneous polarization ...

Abstract: This paper concerns certain aspects of wave propagation in composite materials reinforced by fibers whose directions vary continuously in space. Special attention is focused on the case of slight ...

Abstract: Effective stress-strain relations for inelastic unidirectional composites developed previously are used to derive the gross constitutive behavior of inelastic laminates in which every lamina is ...
