## Abstract This work deals with the development of a new C^1^ finite element for analysing the bending and torsional behaviour of rectangular piezoelectric laminated/sandwich composite beams. The formulation includes transverse shear, warping due to torsion, and elasticβelectric coupling effects.
A new three-noded C 1 beam ΓΏnite element is derived for the analysis of sandwich beams. The formulation includes transverse shear and warping due to torsion. It also accounts for the interlaminar continuity conditions at the interfaces between the layers, and the boundary conditions at the upper and
