Exact solution of an FGM cylindrical panel integrated with sensor and actuator layers under thermomechanical load

This paper presents an exact solution of a functionally graded material (FGM) cylindrical panel embedded in piezoelectric layers under thermo-electro-mechanical loads. The hybrid structure is simply supported at the edges and the material properties of the FGM panel are assumed to be graded in the radial direction according to a power law with the Poisson's ratio assumed to be constant. Using Fourier series expansions in the axial and...
