Abstract
- In practice, voltage would be stored in actuators due to applied mechanical loads or voltage specified as input to them. The effect of stored voltage in actuators on buckling analysis has not been studied so far. This article addresses fully coupled electromechanical buckling analysis of active laminated composite thin to thick plates using partial hierarchical Rayleigh–Ritz solution. The formulation is derived from variational principle with consideration for shear deformation plate theory. Another major contribution is to postpone the initiation of buckling of a laminated plate by increasing its flexural stiffness using feedback piezoelectric control. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
