| Summary: | This paper presents a finite element analysis to model and analyze composite laminated
beams with distributed piezoelectric actuators attached to the top and bottom surfaces considering
nonlinear constitutive equations under a high electric field. The static response is presented for
piezoelectric composite laminated beam using higher order electric field nonlinearity to assess the
effect of electrostriction and elastostriction coefficient at a high electric field. A finite element approach
based on higher-order shear deformation theory is applied for static analysis of composite laminated
beams, varying the thickness and orientation of laminates, to verify the nonlinear effect under a high
electric field. A good comparison of results is shown with the available results in the literature. The
finding of the results highlights the importance of considering elastostriction term along with the
electrostriction term in determining the deflection and stresses of the composite laminated beam. |
