Abstract

Three-dimensional elasticity solution is presented for finite length, simply supported, laminated cylinder with a piezoelectric layer under dynamic thermal load and pressure. The piezoelectric layer can be used as an actuator or a sensor. The ordinary differential equations are obtained from partial differential equations of motion by means of trigonometric function expansion in longitudinal direction. Galerkin finite element method is used to solve the resulting ordinary differential equations. Finally numerical results are discussed for different situations.
