“…Many researchers have contributed toward understanding of the non-linear behavior of composite structures and extensive theoretical, analytical, and numerical studies are available on non-linear bending and vibration of composite plates (Akay, 1980;Pica et al, 1980;Reddy and Chao, 1981;Reddy, 1983Reddy, , 2004Putcha and Reddy, 1986;Singh et al, 1994;Chen et al, 2000;Dash and Singh, 2010). Few works on non-linear bending and vibration analalysis of smart plates using piezoceramics/PVDF patches are seen in recent years (Shi and Atluri, 1990;Pai et al, 1993;Moita et al, 2002;Gao and Shen, 2003;Shen, 2004;Huang and Shen, 2005). However, considerably less research works on active control of non-linear behavior of AFC smart structure are available.…”
