Piezoelectric actuators for delamination control in composite plates subjected to low velocity impact

The potential of MFC actuator as a tool for reducing low velocity impact induced delamination has been investigated using LS-DYNA explicit code. For this purpose, three different piezoelectric actuation models were implemented through its user defined material subroutine, namely, the linear strain m...
