... reinforced 1-3 piezoelectric composites (PZCs). The substrate FG laminated composite plate is composed of generally orthotropic FG layers. The generally orthotropic FG layer is a fiber reinforced composite layer in which the fibers are longitudinally aligned in the plane parallel to the top and bottom...

... in the measurement upon various levels of damage. Testing was performed with both solid piezoceramic transducers and macrofiber composite piezoelectric devices of different sizes bonded to aluminum and fiber reinforced composite structures. The results indicate that characteristics of the structure, not the sensor...

...Liang-Wu Cai; Shashidhar Patil Large-scale deterministic simulations are performed in order to observe the band gap formation in composite models having quasirandom fiber arrangements. Unidirectional fiber-reinforced composite panels are modeled in two-dimensional space with quasirandom fiber...

..., displacements, electric potential, and stresses are presented for four-layer hybrid laminates consisting of a piezoelectric shear sensor and actuator sandwiched between fiber-reinforced composite layers. Active vibration damping is implemented using a positive position feedback controller. Frequency response...
