Layerwise modelling for smart piezoelectric beams and applicationsLayerwise modelling for smart piezoelectric beams and applications Peer-Reviewed Journal Publication Δημοσίευση σε Περιοδικό με Κριτές 2015-10-132006enThis paper presents a layerwise modeling approach for smart piezoelectric beams and applications. The theoretical development is extended to a finite element discretization. The model is applicable for integration with various optimal control schemes and used in the design of smart structures. Moreover it allows for the investigation of delamination and interlayer damage models, their effects on the structural control as well as the design of robust control schemes and damage identification problems.http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/HERMIS860-65 Stavroulakis Georgios Σταυρουλακης Γεωργιος Emmanuel Zacharenakis Daniela Marinova Evangelos Hadjigeorgio Georgia Foutsitzi Applied mechanics Engineering, Mechanical mechanics applied applied mechanics engineering mechanical
