Abstract

In this study, a three-layer axial symmetrical composite plate has simulated in numerical ANSYS and ABAQUS software. The structure has consisted of an elastic core (isotropic) and two piezoelectric layers (trans-trophic) that are symmetrical on both sides of an elastic layer. The elastic core is made of aluminum, and piezoelectric layers are in the form of piezoelectric materials (PZT5H). The polarization vector assumed on the Y-axis in simulation, and loading involves applying an electric charge (voltage) on the surface of the piezoelectric and imposing mechanical load (distributed load) on the upper plan level as well as the electromechanically load that is a combination. Boundary conditions include a hinged and fixed supports which are around the elastic layer. Analysis of the structure takes place in two static- and modal-state situations. Static analysis is conducted to determine the maximum deformation of the structure, and modal analysis is for calculating the natural frequencies and mode shapes of the plate in both short and open circuits. Finally, two software results are compared.
