Bidirectional flexure analysis of functionally graded (FG) plate integrated with piezoelectric fiber reinforced composites (PFRC) is presented in this paper. A higher order shear and normal deformation theory (HOSNT12) is used to analyze such hybrid or smart FG plate subjected to electromechanical loading. The displacement function of the present model is approximated as Taylor's series in the thickness coordinate, while the electro-static potential is approximated as layer wise linear through the thickness of the PFRC layer. The equations of equilibrium are obtained using principle of minimum potential energy and solution is by Navier's technique. Elastic constants are varying exponentially along thickness (z axis) for FG material while Poisson's ratio is kept constant. PFRC actuator attached either at top or bottom of FG plate and analyzed under mechanical and coupled mechanical and electrical loading. Comparison of present HOSNT12 is made with exact and finite element method (FEM).

“…As the active damping of smart structures depends on the control authority of the piezoelectric materials, tailoring of the piezoelectric stress/strain coefficients may improve their control authority and hence the damping characteristics of lightweight smart structures can be improved. In an endeavor to tailor the piezoelectric properties, Mallik and Ray [35] proposed a new concept of longitudinally piezoelectric fiber reinforced composite (PFRC) materials and investigated the effective mechanical and piezoelectric properties of these composites. The main concern of their investigations was to determine the effective piezoelectric coefficient (e 31 ) of these new PFRC materials, which quantifies the induced normal stress in the fiber direction due to the applied unit electric field in the direction transverse to the fiber direction.…”

A fully coupled three-dimensional micromechanics model based on the isofield method is developed for the effective electrothermoelastic properties of piezoelectric fiber-reinforced composite (PFRC) materials with poling and an electric field applied normal to the fiber direction. In the isofield method, the strain and electric field components parallel to the plane connecting two phases are assumed to be uniform across both phases, and likewise for the stress and electric displacement components normal to the connecting plane. The model employs the isofield assumptions for two possible connectivities, which are then combined so as to yield transverse isotropy of the effective properties when both constituents are transversely isotropic. The assumption of uniform electric field across two phases made by some existing theories can be achieved as a special case of the present formulation when the dielectric constants of the fiber and matrix phases are equal. The effects of the fiber volume fraction and dielectric ratio on the effective properties are studied for two PFRC systems, PZT-7A/epoxy and PZT-5H/epoxy. The results are compared with those available in the literature based on uniform electric field assumptions. It is found that the dielectric ratio has a very significant effect on the electromechanical and electrothermal coupling constants of PFRCs.
