Abstract
Increasing engineering activities in the development and industrial application of piezoelectric smart structures require effective and reliable simulation methods and design tools [2], [9], [14]. In our opinion, the finite element method (FEM) is an excellent approach to develop a tool, which meets the relevant engineering requirements. Recently, an overall simulation and design tool for piezoelectric controlled smart structures has been developed, containing both a suitable controller design and the appropriate actuator/sensor placement. To model complex engineering structures, a library of multi-field finite elements has been developed with coupled electric and mechanical degrees of freedom for 1D, 2D and 3D continua as well as for thin-walled layered structures [4].
