Abstract
In this paper some variational principles are revisited for the fundamental equations of a regular region of piezoelectric, thermopiezoelectric, and hygrothermopiezoelectric (but non-stochastic, non-local, and non-relativistic) materials in the elastic range. Certain oversights, and especially, those involving the so-called Hu-Washizu variational principle of piezoelectricity that was first formulated in a paper (“Variational Principles in Piezoelectricity,” Lettere Al Nuovo Cimento, vol. 7, 449–454, 1973) are clarified within the “ISI-Web of Science” publications in the open literature. Similar variational principles of piezoelectricity are cited.

About heat waves

M Barrett
TL;DR: In this article, the Belgian Pilots' Guild raised the question of what effect exposure to radar radiation might have on the human body and reported that in 25 years of experience with radar, there were no known incidents of pilots being affected by radar waves.

Variational Principles in Mechanics

TL;DR: In this article, the authors define the principle of virtual work, which is a departure from other minimizing principles in that it incorporated stationarity and local stationarity in its formulation, and it is used to characterize static equilibrium through requiring that the work done by the external forces during a small displacement from equilibrium should vanish.

Review: A review of active structural control: challenges for engineering informatics

TL;DR: An active structure is an engineering structure containing sensors and actuators that, when active, modify the response of the structure to its environment as discussed by the authors, and it is a type of structural control that can be used in extreme environments (space, undersea, polar), contaminated contexts (nuclear, chemical, biological).

Nonlinear Electroelastlc Equations of Wave Propagation and Vibrations in Quartz Bars

M.C. Dokmeci
TL;DR: In this article, the nonlinear electroelastic equations of wave propagation and vibrations in a quartz bar of uniform cross-section are presented. And the constraints are incorporated into this principle through the dislocation potentials and Lagrange undetermined multipliers, and hence a generalized variational principle is derived for the motions of nonlinear piezoelectric continuum.

Some basic principles for linear coupled dynamic thermopiezoelectricity

TL;DR: In this article, an integral relation in terms of convolutions is given, which can be considered as the generalized principle of virtual work in mechanics, based on this relation, it is possible not only to obtain the virtual work and the reciprocal theorem in linear coupled dynamic thermopiezoelectricity, but also to derive systematically the complementary functionals for eleven-field, nine-field and six-field simplified Gurtin-type variational principles.
