An Extended Layerwise/Solid-Element (XLW/SE) method is developed based on the Extended Layerwise method (XLWM) and eight-node solid element method for the static analysis of damaged composite sandwich structures with piezoelectric sensor. In this method, the XLWM is used to model the facesheets and piezoelectric sensors, and the eight-node solid element is used for the lattice. Based on the equilibrium conditions of displacement and internal force of the overlapped joints at the facesheet/sensors and facesheet/lattice interfaces, the general governing equation is established. In the numerical examples, the proposed method is verified by comparing with the 3D elasticity model developed in the commercial finite element software, and composite sandwich plates with delamination and/or transverse crack and/or debonding are analyzed.

This paper deals with the nonlinear dynamic analysis of smart laminated composite sandwich plates. A three dimensional energy based finite element (FE) model has been developed for the composite sandwich plates integrated with the patches of active constrained layer damping (ACLD) treatment. Von Kármán type nonlinear strain–displacement relations and the first-order shear deformation theory (FSDT) are adopted individually for each layer of the sandwich plate in developing the FE model. The constraining layer of the ACLD treatment is considered to be made of active fiber composite (AFC) material. The Golla–Hughes–McTavish (GHM) method is used to model the constrained viscoelastic layer of the ACLD treatment in the time domain. Sandwich plates with symmetric and antisymmetric laminated faces separated by HEREX core are considered for evaluation of the numerical results. The numerical results indicate that the ACLD patches significantly improve the damping characteristics of the composite sandwich plates for suppressing their geometrically nonlinear transient vibrations. The effect of variation of piezoelectric fiber orientation angle in the AFC material on the control authority of the ACLD patches is also investigated.
