Vibration control of the composite beam integrated with curved piezoelectric "bers is investigated. Sensory and actuating equations of the curved piezoelectric "bers embedded in a composite slender beam are derived, and expressed in terms of line integrals. In addition, a new method for designing "b

Due to their low mass and conformability, actuators and sensors made of active materials can be used in the vibration control of inflatable structures. In this study, we model piezoelectric patches attached to an inflated toroidal shell as actuators and sensors. Using Sanders' shell theory in the pr
PZT thick films with thicknesses between 5 and 150 m are of great interest for microsystems applications where direct coating onto microelectronic substrates and high electromechanical performance are required. Dense PZT thick films have been obtained by combining a PZT-PMN powder with a low melting
In the design of actively controlled structures, the determination of the actuators and sensors location is a very important issue. In this way, the purpose of this paper is to propose a new approach to "nd the optimal location of piezoelectric actuators and sensors on beam structures. More precisel
