Non linear analysis of a functionally graded square plate with two smart layers as sensor and actuator under normal pressure
M. Arefi and G.H. Rahimi
Abstract
The present paper addresses the nonlinear response of a FG square plate with two smart layers as a sensor and actuator under pressure. Geometric nonlinearity was considered in the strain-displacement relation based on the Von-Karman assumption. All the mechanical and electrical properties except Poisson
