Basic relations of the theory of thermoviscoelastic plates with distributed sensors

The basic relations of the thermomechanics of thin-walled viscoelastic plates with distributed piezoelectric sensors under monogarmonic mechanical loading are presented. To describe the thermomechanical behavior of materials, the concept of complex characteristics is used. Numerical and variational methods are used to study the forced resonant vibrations of viscoelastic plates with distributed piezoelectric sensors. The effect of dissipative heating on the readings of the sensors of a circular viscoelastic plate undergoing axisymmetric resonant bending vibrations is analyzed as an example
