Thermo-Electro-Mechanical Behavior of Finite Piezocomposites Cylinder

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper presents a complete analytical solution for transient responses of a transversely isotropic thermopiezoelectric finite composite cylinder under axisymmetric boundary conditions. The governing equations for coupled axisymmetric electro-thermo-mechanical field of a transversely isotropic piezoelectric medium are employed, and the corresponding general solutions are derived. A boundary-value problem corresponding to composites of finite thermopiezoelectric cylinder with axisymmetric mechanical and electrical loadings applied at the curve surface of a cylinder is solved. The solutions presented in this study can provide fundamental understanding of thermo-electro-mechanical behaviour of thermopiezoelectric finite composite cylinder under various loading conditions, and are useful for the development of piezocomposites for practical applications.
