“…So the present host circular cylindrical shell is considered to be made of FGM and the effect of its temperature on the actuation capability of SPFRC is also another objective of this study. It may be noted here that the literature shows a substantial number of studies on the analysis of FG/laminated composite circular cylindrical shell integrated with monolithic piezoelectric/PZC actuators (Carrera et al, 2011; Chen and Shen, 1996; Dogan and Vaicaitis, 1999; Ganesan and Kadoli, 2003; He et al, 2002; Jafari et al, 2014; Kumar et al, 2008; Lester and Sylvie, 1993; Li et al, 2004; Liew et al, 2002; Qiu and Tani, 1995; Ray and Reddy, 2005; Saadatfar, 2015; Sheng and Wang, 2009; Sonti and James, 1996; Zhang et al, 2008). But none of the available studies addresses the actuation capability of SPFRC actuator especially in comparison to the same of monolithic piezoelectric/PZC actuator.…”
