What is Thermal Postbuckling of Shear-deformable Laminated Plates with Piezoelectric Actuators about?
A thermal postbuckling analysis is presented for a simply supported, shear-deformable laminated plate with piezoelectric actuators subjected to the combined action of thermal and electric loads. The temperature field considered is associated with a parabolic distribution over the plate surface and a uniform distribution in the thickness direction. The electric field is assumed to be the transverse component, E Z , only. The material properties are assumed to be independent of the temperature and the electric field. The governing equations of a laminated plate are based on Reddy's higher-order shear-deformation plate theory that includes thermo-piezoelectric effects. The initial geometric imperfection of the plate is taken into account. The analysis uses a mixed Galerkin-perturbation technique to determine thermal buckling temperature and postbuckling equilibrium paths. The numerical illustrations concern the thermal postbuckling behavior of perfect and imperfect, symmetric cross-ply laminated plates with fully covered or embedded piezoelectric layers under different sets of thermal and electric loading conditions. The effects played by transverse shear deformation, the plate aspect
