| Description | Thermal effects are incorporated into previously developed discrete layer mechanics for piezoelectric composite beam structures. The updated mechanics explicitly account for the complete coupled thermoelectromechanical response of smart composite beams. This unified representation leads to an inherent capability to model both the sensory and actuator responses of piezoelectric composite beams in a thermal environment. Finite element equations are developed and numerical results are presented to demonstrate the capability of the current formulation to represent the behavior of both sensory and active smart structures under thermal loadings. |
