“…This can be found, for example, in the work of Giurgiutiu and Soutis, 6 Li et al, 7 Medeiros et al 8,9 and Shivakumar. 10 Health monitoring of composites and laminates using embedded piezoelectric sensors can be found in the work of Cook, 11 De Medeiros et al, 12 Hwang, 13 Katunin et al, 14 Lissenden et al, 15 Qing et al, 16 Stojic et al, 17 Verijenko et al 18 The trade-off between integrating active fibers into composite laminates and surface mounted PZT wafers for health monitoring was investigated in the work of Bruner et al 19 Of principal concern is the effect of the sensors applied in the two methodologies on the overall mechanical properties, frequency tuning, and long-term monitoring.…”

Interrogation of composite structures for inherent damage is investigated implementing three-tier analysis scheme. The analysis starts at the structure level where a general-purpose Finite Element code ABAQUS is employed to obtain the stress field in the second level of analysis that is the composite laminate. A special material routine is prepared to propagate the local fields to the individual plies and hence to the third level of analysis which is the microstructure modelling of the composite. Through the third level of analysis, interface damage between fiber and matrix is checked implementing a certain failure criteria. The interaction between the different length scales; that are, structure, macro, and micro scales, is implemented using the non-mechanical strains caused by damage. Embedment of electrically active fibers in the laminate serves as a tool to interrogate the structure for inherent damage through the electric displacement generated due to the electro-mechanical coupling. To verify the developed multi-scale model, a comparison with the experimental results of a tube problem under combined internal pressure and axial load is presented. The results show good agreement in both the undamaged and damaged state. As an application, a plate with a hole under biaxial load is solved. The output includes not only the structure global behavior during damage but also detailed information about the location of damage within the structure, the plies that exhibit damage, type of damage and the fiber/matrix debonded length. Comparison between the electric displacement of the active fibers in the undamaged and damaged states is presented as well.

Piezoelectric materials, typically used as intelligent materials, can respond according to the design demands of the composite structures autonomously. The excitation of piezoelectric actuators generates the bending effect on the hybrid composite plates. An analytical methodology is developed to calculate the displacements of simply supported laminated composite plates induced by piezoelectric actuators and validate the results by generating MATLAB code. Further, the laminated hybrid composite plates reinforced with carbon nanotubes(CNT) are excited by piezoelectric actuators bonded to the surface on both sides with a variable electrical voltage across the thickness. The effects of location, size and thickness ratio of piezoelectric actuators on the deflection of hybrid composite plates are carried out by extending the code. The transverse displacements vary linearly with the applied voltage and size of the piezoelectric actuators. The effect of CNT volume fraction and the position of CNT lamina plays a vital role in deflections, and also it is observed that maximum displacements decrease rapidly as thickness ratio increases from 0.5 to 5 and from 10 to 50, the maximum displacements gradually decrease. Hence, it illustrated that the present technique provides a simple solution for predicting and controlling the deformed shape of reinforced hybrid composite plates induced by distributed piezoelectric actuators.

“…Ray and Shivakumar (2009) demonstrated the controlled frequency response composite plates by incorporating vertically reinforced 1–3 PZC patch. Ray and his colleagues proposed a finite element (FE) model to assess the influence of ACLD treatment on functionally graded (Kumar and Ray, 2016; Panda and Ray, 2006, 2009), laminated (Ray and Mallik, 2005; Ray and Pradhan, 2006; Shivakumar and Ray, 2008) and sandwich (Kumar and Ray, 2012a, 2012b) plates. From their study, it was witnessed that both linear and nonlinear vibrations of the structure are remarkably attenuated through ACLD treatment.…”

The linear frequency response of skew multiphase magneto-electro-elastic composite plate embedded with active constrained layer damping treatment has been studied. The volume fraction of piezoelectric fibres embedded in the piezomagnetic matrix significantly affects the coupling characteristic of this multiferroic material, and hence, the frequency of the skew multiphase magneto-electro-elastic plate is drastically altered. This study emphasizes on evaluating the influence of different volume fraction of barium titanate (BaTiO3) and cobalt ferrite (CoFe2O4) on the frequency characteristics of skew multiphase magneto-electro-elastic. In this regard, a finite element formulation has been proposed to assess the damped response of such skew multiphase magneto-electro-elastic plates. Incorporating the complex modulus approach, the constrained viscoelastic layer of the active constrained layer damping patch is modelled. In addition, the effect of geometrical skewness has also been investigated. Meanwhile, an exhaustive parametric study is carried out to analyse the influence of control gain, patch position and fibre orientation angle of piezoelectric composite.
