A new finite element formulation for laminated structures with bonded piezoelectric patches that can also handle coupled analysis is developed. The developed FE model can handle smart patches embedded in asymmetrically stacked laminated composite beams. These developed elements are used to perform dynamic analysis and modal shape control to a cantilever smart beam. Numerical results are presented to show the optimal locations and optimal values of electrical voltages in the actuators to achieve modal shape.
