Abstract

A method is proposed for constructing equilibrium equations for thickness-polarized transversally isotropic piezoceramic shells. The method is based on Fourier expanding the required functions in Legendre polynomials. The appropriate system of differential equations is formed for the expansion coefficients as functions of two independent variables. The equilibrium equations are given in particular for transversally isotropic spherical shells. A method is given for constructing the general solution in the first approximation.
