Drawing on the authors' extensive research results, this book presents the theoretical
framework and development of various S-FEM models. It discusses the overall modeling …

Current research issues in the development of efficient analysis models and their efficient
numerical implementation for smart piezoelectric laminated structures are discussed in this …

Piezoelectric materials embedded into plates and shells make the structures being capable
of sensing and actuation, usually called smart structures, which are frequently used for …

An edge-based smoothed finite element method (ES-FEM) was recently proposed to
significantly improve the accuracy and convergence rate of the standard finite element …

In the last one and a half decades, a considerable amount of three‐dimensional continuum
finite element models have been proposed for plate/shell analysis. These continuum …

This paper addresses modeling and finite element analysis of the transient large-amplitude
vibration response of thin rod-type structures (eg, plane curved beams, arches, ring shells) …

A geometrically nonlinear finite element (FE) model based on large rotation shell theory is
developed for static and dynamic analysis of piezoelectric integrated thin-walled structures …

This paper is concerned with a geometrically non‐linear solid shell element to analyse
piezoelectric structures. The finite element formulation is based on a variational principle of …

Control performances of smart structures depend on the size and location of the
piezoelectric actuators and sensors as well as on the applied control algorithm. This article …

This paper gives a bibliographical review of the finite element methods (FEMs) applied to
the analysis and simulation of smart materials and structures. The bibliography is an …
