Smart control of large amplitude vibration of porous piezoelectric conical sandwich panels resting on nonlinear elastic foundation

In this paper, a nonuniform electric field model is proposed for the smart control of large amplitude vibration of porous piezoelectric conical sandwich panels resting on nonlinear elastic foundation within the framework of von Kármán type of geometrical nonlinearity and the first order shear deformation theory. The conical sandwich panel consists of a viscoelastic core and two porous piezoelectric material layers. By employing Hamilton’s...
