Journal ArticleDOI
Modeling and simulation of macro-fiber composite layered smart structures
TL;DR: A linear electro-mechanically coupled finite element (FE) model for composite laminated thin-walled smart structures bonded with orthotropic MFCs having arbitrary piezo fiber orientation was developed in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
A general linear theory of laminated composite shells featuring interlaminar bonding imperfections
Liviu Librescu,Rüdiger Schmidt +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a general linear theory of laminated composite anisotropic shells of arbitrary shape and curvature is presented, in which the effect of the interfacial damage induced by the imperfect bonding between the constituent laminae is incorporated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Active vibration control of piezoelectric bonded smart structures using PID algorithm
TL;DR: In this paper, an electro-mechanically coupled finite element (FE) model of smart structures is developed based on first-order shear deformation (FOSD) hypothesis, and a PID control is implemented to damp both the free and forced vibrations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Large rotations in first-order shear deformation FE analysis of laminated shells
Ireneusz Kreja,Rüdiger Schmidt +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the relevance of the five and six-parameter variants of the FOSD hypothesis for large rotation plate and shell problems was discussed, and it was shown that the assumption of constant through-thickness distribution of the transverse normal displacements is acceptable only for small and moderate rotation problems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hybrid lightweight composite pyramidal truss sandwich panels with high damping and stiffness efficiency
Jin-Shui Yang,Jin-Shui Yang,Li Ma,Rüdiger Schmidt,Ge Qi,Kai-Uwe Schröder,Jian Xiong,Linzhi Wu +7 more
TL;DR: Hybrid composite pyramidal truss sandwich panels combined with multiple damping configurations are fabricated in this article to investigate the damping and stiffness efficiency of the candidate structures, and experimental results show that such structures combined with damping materials would significantly improve damping loss efficiency but decrease simultaneously the stiffness efficiency in varying degrees compared with the bare hybrid sandwich panels.
