More and more piezoelectric materials and structures have been used for structure control in aviation and aerospace industry. More efficient and convenient computation method for large complex structure with piezoelectric actuation devices is required. A load simulation method of piezoelectric actuation is presented in this paper. By this method, the freedom degree of finite element simulation is significantly reduced, the difficulty in defining in-plane voltage for multi-layers piezoelectric composite is overcome and the transfer computation between material main direction and the element main direction is simplified. The concept of simulation load is comprehensible and suitable for engineers of structure strength in shape and vibration control, thereby is valuable for promoting the application of piezoelectric material and structures in practical aviation and aerospace fields.piezoelectric actuator, piezoelectric fiber composite, shape control, vibration control, drive characteristic

“…10 This is a concern for minimizing the package size and weight; however recent developments in piezocrystal stack technology have advanced strain capability to above 10 mils/in. 11,12 As will be shown, stack force capability is far greater than the loads seen by the actuator, so it is possible to employ a displacement amplification mechanism to satisfy the displacement criterion. For another, the temperature handling capability of the PZT ceramic material, limited by the depoling (Curie) temperature, is typically less than 400°F.…”

“…Amplification of the displacement may be accomplished by use of a lever arm or a hydraulic amplifier if the actuator possesses a blocked force greater than the requirement, which is used in several applications. 11,17 Energy conservation laws dictate that a gain in displacement is always penalized by an attenuation in force. Using this premise, one can "tune" the amplifier gain to ensure that the actuator is at its maximum mechanical efficiency, otherwise known as impedance matching, which is achieved at one-half of the free (unloaded) displacement and onehalf of the blocked force.…”

Abstract. The available three-dimensional (3D) solutions reported for the analysis of Functionally Graded Piezoelectric (FGP) laminates are based on this simplifying assumption that the FGP layer consists of a number of homogeneous sub-layers. The accuracy of these formulations not only is dependent on the number of sub-layers, but also leads to inaccurate results in the prediction of higher natural frequencies of the FGP laminates. In the present paper, a 3D Peano series solution is developed for the cylindrical bending vibration of the FGP laminates. This novel formulation exactly satis es the equations of motion, the charge equation, and the boundary and interface conditions of the continuously nonhomogeneous piezoelectric layers. The obtained solution is exact because no a priori assumption for the displacement components and the electric potential along the thickness direction of FGP layers is introduced. The in uences of the di erent functionally gradient material properties and di erent electric boundary conditions on the natural frequencies and mode shapes of the FGP laminate have also been studied through examples. The present solution and its obtained numerical results can be employed to assess the accuracy of di erent FGP laminated beam/plate theories. It can also be used for FGP vibration behavior comprehension purposes.
