Low‐Velocity Impact Response Analysis of Functionally Graded Piezoelectric Plates Using Finite‐Element Method and a Two‐Degrees‐of‐Freedom Spring‐Mass Model
Abstract:The study focuses on the low‐velocity impact response of functionally graded piezoelectric plates. The effective material properties are determined using the rule of mixture and power law model. The kinematics of the plates is modeled by the first‐order shear deformation theory, and coupled governing equations of the plates are formulated using Hamilton's principle and Maxwell's law. A set of time‐dependent equations, extracted by applying the finite‐element method, is solved by the fourth‐order Runge–Kutta me… Show more
