Abstract: | A finite element formulation is presented for modeling the plate structure containing distributed piezoelectric sensors and actuators (S/As). A new plate bending element for analysis of the plate with distributed piezoelectric S/As is developed. This element saves much memory and computation time. Using the bending plate element, a general method of static shape control for the intelligent structure is put forth. Two examples are given to illustrate the application of the method presented in this paper. The purpose of the first example is to check the accuracy of the finite element method presented in this paper. The second example is to study the problem of the static shape control for the intelligent structure. It is concluded that the shape of the intelligent structure can reach the desired shape through passive control or active control. |
