Description
Summary:The main goal of this paper is to improve the mixed interpolation of tensorial components triangular (MITC3) by using the edge-based smoothed finite element method (ES-FEM), so-called ES-MITC3, for analyzing the vibration of piezoelectric functionally graded porous (p-FGP) plates subjected to dynamic loading. The material properties of the FGP core vary through thickness with uneven porosity distribution. Besides, the linear relationship between the electric potential and the thickness of the piezoelectric sublayer is taken into account. A closed-loop control algorithm is employed to actively control the vibration of p-FGP plates, through feedback from displacement and velocity. The performance of the proposed method is verified through comparative examples. Finally, the authors hope that the present method can be effectively applied to many smart material models in a multiphysics environment and contribute to understanding texture control by piezoelectric materials through numerical results.
