Active vibration control of GPLs-reinforced FG metal foam plates with piezoelectric sensor and actuator layers

This paper investigates free vibration and dynamic responses of smart FG metal foam plate structures reinforced by graphene platelets (GPLs). We then analyze active control of FG metal foam plates with piezoelectric sensor and actuator layers. To provide numerical solution of underlying problems, we develop a computational approach based on a generalized C0-type higher-order shear deformation theory (C0-HSDT) polygonal finite element formulation...
