Abstract

The paper is focused on the elastic buckling behavior of piezocomposite elliptical cylindrical shell finite element formulation. The formulation is based on the shear deformation theory, and the serendipity quadrilateral eight-node element is used to study the elastic behavior of elliptical cylindrical shells. The strain-displacement relations are accurately accounted for in the formulation. The contributions of work done by the applied load are also incorporated. A constant gain displacement control algorithm coupling the direct and inverse piezoelectric effect is applied to provide active control of composite non-circular shells in a self-monitoring and self-controlling system. The governing equations obtained using the principle of minimum potential energy are solved through an eigenvalue approach. The influences of elliptical cross-sectional parameter and displacement feedback gain (G d ) values on the critical buckling loads of elliptical cylindrical shells are examined.
