An isogeometric analysis (IGA) method is proposed for investigating the active shape and vibration control of functionally graded plates (FGPs) with surface-bonded piezoelectric materials in a thermal environment. A simple first-order shear deformation theory (S-FSDT) four variables used to describe displacement field plates. To ensure investigation smart structure environment closer actual sit...

Abstract This paper presents an analytical solution for the free vibration behavior of functionally graded carbon nanotube-reinforced composite (FG-CNTRC) doubly curved shallow shells with integrated piezoelectric layers. Here, linear distribution electric potential across thickness layer and five different types nanotube (CNT) distributions through direction are considered. Based on four-varia...

An elasticity solution is obtained for a sandwich beam with a functionally graded core subjected to transverse loads. The sandwich is subdivided into four elements, the top and bottom face-sheets, and top and bottom halves of the sandwich core. Euler-Bernoulli beam theory is used to model the face-sheets and plane elasticity equations are used to analyze the core. The Young’s modulus of the cor...
