Abstract
null null A formulation of a smart shell finite element for laminated curved structures with piezoelectric layers working under either the d31 or d33 effects has been developed in order to simulate dynamic tests. The electrical domain was modeled using a first order theory for the electrical field and a layer-wise approach. The mechanical domain is modeled using a degenerated shell theory with implicit curvature, considering a first order shear...
