Analytical study of the piezoelastic behaviour of a laminated rectangular plate with piezoelectric layers and finite length is presented. The solution is obtained applying Fourier series expansion to the state-space equation. The plate is assumed to be simply supported at four edges. The stress, displacement, and electric potential distributions are obtained by solving these state equations. Both the direct and the inverse piezoelectric effects are investigated and the influence of pizieoelectric layers on the mechanical behaviour of plate is studied. The method is validated by comparing numerical results of the plate without piezoelectric layers with that available in the literature.

Piezoelectric Layers

Three-dimensional piezothermoelastic solutions for a finite functionally graded cylindrical shell with piezoelectric layer are carried out in this paper. The cylindrical shell is simply supported at four end edges and is subjected to axisymmetric thermomechanical loads. The piezoelectric layers are polarized along radial direction as a sensor. The material properties are assumed to be temperature independent and radially dependent but are assumed to be homogeneous in each layer; the variables are expanded in Fourier series to satisfy the boundary conditions and multilayer approach is used. Numerical results of mullite/molybdenum functionally graded cylindrical shell are presented; the temperature change, stresses, electric potential, and electric displacement distributions are given and briefly discussed.

With aid of the Stroh-type formalism and the state-space approach, a simple and elegant method is presented to obtain an exact solution for the time-dependent problem of a simply-supported laminated anisotropic piezothermoelastic plate in cylindrical bending with interfacial diffusion and sliding. The Stroh-type formalism is used to obtain the general solution of the thermoelectroelastic field in a certain layer. The state-space equation is then constructed for a laminated plate. The relaxation times and the transient thermoelectroelastic response of the laminated plate can be determined by solving the state-space equation via an analysis of a generalized eigenvalue problem. By using a similar method, we also derive an exact solution for a simply-supported laminated anisotropic piezothermoelastic cylindrical shell with interfacial diffusion and sliding under cylindrical bending.

Curved Panels

AbstractFree vibration analysis of functionally graded (FG) curved panels integrated with piezoelectric layers under various boundary conditions is studied. A panel with two opposite edges is simply supported, and arbitrary boundary conditions at the other edges are considered. Two different models of material property variations based on the power law distribution in terms of the volume fractions of the constituents and the exponential law distribution of the material properties through the thickness are considered. Based on the three-dimensional theory of elasticity, an approach combining the state space method and the differential quadrature method (DQM) is used. For the simply supported boundary conditions, closed-form solution is given by making use of the Fourier series expansion, and applying the differential quadrature method to the state space formulations along the axial direction, new state equations about state variables at discrete points are obtained for the other cases such as clamped or free-end conditions. Natural frequencies of the hybrid curved panels are presented by solving the eigenfrequency equation, which can be obtained by using edges boundary conditions in this state equation. The results obtained for only FGM shell is verified by comparing the natural frequencies with the results obtained in the literature.

This research developed a numerical method that solves complicated fluid flow problems without requiring end-user expertise with the solver. This method is capable of obtaining a spatially accurate solution in the same time or better as a skilled user with a conventional solver. An explicit preconditioned multigrid solver was used in this research with a multistage relaxation method. The prosposed method utilizies a database with optimized relaxation method parameters for different local flow and mesh conditions. The parameters are optimized for the relaxation such that the error modes in a complex Fourier series expansion of the residual can be quickly reduced. The convergence time and iteration count of this method was compared against the same solver using default input values, as well as a pre-optimized solver, to simulate a skilled user for various geometries. Improvements in both comparisons were demonstrated.

A modified Fourier–Ritz approach is developed in this study to analyze the free in-plane vibration of orthotropic annular sector plates with general boundary conditions. In this approach, two auxiliary sine functions are added to the standard Fourier cosine series to obtain a robust function set. The introduction of a logarithmic radial variable simplifies the expressions of total energy and the Lagrangian function. The improved Fourier expansion based on the new variable eliminates all the potential discontinuities of the original displacement function and its derivatives in the entire domain and effectively improves the convergence of the results. The radial and circumferential displacements are formulated with the modified Fourier series expansion, and the arbitrary boundary conditions are simulated by the artificial boundary spring technique. The number of terms in the truncated Fourier series and the appropriate value of the boundary spring retraining stiffness are discussed. The developed Ritz procedure is used to obtain accurate solution with adequately smooth displacement field in the entire solution domain. Numerical examples involving plates with various boundary conditions demonstrate the robustness, precision, and versatility of this method. The method developed here is found to be computationally economic compared with the previous method that does not adopt the logarithmic radial variable.

Orientational Ordering

The model for the angular orientational energy (AOE) has been extended to hexagonal submonolayer domains of Ag electrodeposited at a constant overpotential on a C(0001) surface. These domains which are characterized by an epitaxy angle θ=15±5° and an Ag−Ag distance d Ag−Ag =0.330± 0.016 nm, can be considered as precursors of 3D Ag crystal formation, according to a Volmer-Weber type mechanism. Calculations are based upon a simple Hamiltonian evaluated by introducing the concept of the commensurable unit cell. A Fourier series expansion for the substrate potential was used. Results from the model predict the existence of a commensurable cell in agreement with the experimental data derived from STM imaging.
