Introduction

Zhang, Shun-Qi

Pages: 1 –5

[The chapter first discusses the application background of smart structures and the definition of smart structures. Later, the history of smart structures, including various programs, is introduced. Finally, the objectives of the report and the outlines are addressed.]

Literature Review

Zhang, Shun-Qi

Pages: 7 –36

[This chapter gives an overview of modeling and simulation techniques for smart structures. First, the chapter starts with various through thickness hypotheses for beam, plate and shell structures. Later, the development history of geometrically nonlinear theories in composite thin-walled...

Geometrically Nonlinear Theories

Zhang, Shun-Qi

Pages: 37 –53

[This chapter starts with discussing various hypotheses, and the differences between these hypotheses are outlined. Afterwards, the mathematical preliminaries, including position vectors, covariant and contravariant base vectors, Christoffel symbols, shifter tensor, curvature tensor, etc., will...

Nonlinear Constitutive Relations

Zhang, Shun-Qi

Pages: 55 –75

[This chapter deals with constitutive relations for piezoelectric materials with isotropy or orthotropy. Firstly, piezoelectricity is introduced for brief understanding of piezoelectric materials. To deep understand the basic principles of piezo materials, the fundamental theory of...

Finite Element Formulations

Zhang, Shun-Qi

Pages: 77 –99

[In this chapter, resultant strain and stress are introduced, such that the volume integration can be treat as surface integration. In order to describe the unrestricted finite rotations in thin-walled smart structures, five mechanical nodal DOFs are defined to represent the six kinematic...

Nonlinear Analysis of Piezoceramic Laminated Structures

Zhang, Shun-Qi

Pages: 101 –136

[In this chapter, geometrically nonlinear FE models, including RVK5, MRT5, LRT5 and LRT56, are validated by static analysis of composite laminated thin-walled structures. Later, the geometrically nonlinear FE models are test by buckling and post-buckling analysis of cylindrical composite panels....

Numerical Analysis of Macro-fiber Composite Structures

Zhang, Shun-Qi

Pages: 137 –152

[This chapter deals with the simulation of MFC bonded structures using the numerical models developed in previous chapters. First the model is validated by MFC bonded plate structure, in which two typical types of MFCs are considered, MFC-d31 and MFC-d33. Then, various geometrically nonlinear...

Conclusion and Future Work

Zhang, Shun-Qi

Pages: 153 –155

[Due to the excellent properties of smart structures, a wide applications can be found in aerospace, civil and automotive engineering. Smart structures are usually appearing with beam-, plate- and shell-shaped structures. There is a great concern about the appropriate computation approaches for...
