The effects of embedded piezoelectric layers in composite cylinders and applications

An elasticity solution is presented for the static equilibrium equations of an axisymmetric composite cylinder under loadings due to embedded piezoelectric laminae. The solution is used to study both uniform and non-uniform distributions of the piezoelectric effect and results are verified using the...
