Abstract

Based on the electro-mechanical coupling theory and the laminate elasticity theory, an electro-elastic solution is obtained for the fiber-reinforced cylindrical composites with integrated piezoelectric actuators when subjected to mechanical and electrical loadings. The hybrid composite is composed of three parts: internal piezoelectric actuator, fiber-reinforced laminated interlayer, and external piezoelectric actuator. The general solution in each piezoelectric smart layer is obtained by introducing three undetermined constants, and the general solutions in the fiber-reinforced laminated interlayer are obtained by means of the state-space method. The mechanical behaviors of the hybrid fiber-reinforced cylindrical composites are investigated. The illustrative examples show that the fiber’s angle, the stacking sequence as well as the applied electric loading strongly affect the physical fields in the fiber-reinforced multilayered cylindrical composites.
