Transient responses of a multilayered spherically isotropic piezoelectric hollow sphere

Abstract

The dynamic solution of a multilayered spherically isotropic piezoelectric hollow sphere subjected to radial dynamic loads is obtained. By the method of superposition, the solution is divided into two parts: one is quasi-static and the other is dynamic. The quasi-static part is derived by the state-space method, and the dynamic part is obtained by the method of separation of variables coupled with the initial parameter method as well as the orthogonal expansion technique. By using the quasi-static and dynamic parts, the electric boundary conditions as well as the electric continuity conditions, a Volterra integral equation of the second kind with respect to a function of time is derived, which can be solved successfully by means of the interpolation method. The displacements, stresses and electric potentials are finally obtained. The present method is suitable for a multilayered spherically isotropic piezoelectric hollow sphere consisting of arbitrary layers and subjected to arbitrary spherically symmetric dynamic loads. Finally, numerical results are presented and discussed.

Radial Vibrations in a Non-Homogeneous Orthotropic Elastic Hollow Sphere Subjected to Rotation

“…9 Free vibration analysis of functionally graded curved panels was carried out using a higher order formulation have been investigated by Pradyumna and Bandyopadhyay. 10 The transient responses of homogeneous hollow spheres under radial deformation have been investigated by Wang et al 11 and for example Zhou et al 12 studied 3D vibrations of the solid and hollow cylinders using the Ritz method and Chebysheiv polynomials. The authors of this paper performed a semi-analytical solution for free vibration of a finite cylinder.…”

Two-dimensional piezothermoelastic analysis of a smart FGM hollow sphere

“…By using the method of Laplace transformation, Ootao and Tanigawa [10] analyzed the transient piezothermoelastic problem for a functionally graded thermopiezoelectric hollow sphere based on the linear theory of thermoelasticity. Wang et al [11] studied the dynamic problem of a multilayered piezoelectric sphere under spherically symmetric loading. The superposition method was used to divide the problem into quasi-static and dynamic parts.…”
