The stress decay rate and characteristic decay length for anisotropic materials and ยฎber composites have been intensively investigated. However, those for piezoelectric materials have not been studied. In this paper, we examine the Saint-Venant end eects of piezoceramic materials by considering the

This paper is concerned with the decay of Saint-Venant end effects for plane deformations of piezoelectric (PE)-piezomagnetic (PM) sandwich structures, where a PM layer is located between two PE layers with the same material properties or reversely. The end of the sandwich structure is subjected to
A semi-infinite prismatic cylinder composed of a linear anisotropic classical elastic material is in equilibrium under zero body force and either zero displacement or zero traction on the lateral boundary. The elastic moduli become perturbed. Under suitable conditions on the base load decay estimate
An ecient numerical method is presented, to account for time eects in composite structures. The method is based on the theory of linear viscoelasticity and on the ยฎnite element method.
