Damping Enhancement of Composite Panels by Inclusion of Shunted Piezoelectric Patches: A Wave-Based Modelling Approach

Damping Enhancement of Composite Panels by Inclusion of Shunted Piezoelectric Patches: A Wave-Based Modelling Approach

The waves propagating within complex smart structures are hereby computed by employing a wave and finite element method. The structures can be of arbitrary layering and of complex geometric characteristics as long as they exhibit two-dimensional periodicity. The piezoelectric coupling phenomena are considered within the finite element formulation. The mass, stiffness and piezoelectric stiffness...

Multimodal wave propagation in smart composite structures with shunted piezoelectric patches

Wave propagation in composite structures with shunted piezoelectric patches is investigated in this work. The Wave Finite Element(WFE) approach is firstly developed as a prediction tool for wave propagation characteristics like dispersion curves in composite structures, and subsequently extended to consider shunted piezoelectric elements through the Diffusion Matrix Model(DMM). A three-layered ...

Vibration and Wave Propagation Control of Plates with Periodic Arrays of Shunted Piezoelectric Patches

Periodic arrays of shunted, piezoelectric patches are employed to control waves propagating over the surface of plate structures, and corresponding vibrations. The shunted, piezoelectric patches act as sources of impedance mismatch, which gives rise to interference phenomena resulting from the interaction between incident, reflected and transmitted waves. Periodically distributed mismatch zones...
