A layer-wise MITC9 finite element for the free-vibration analysis of plates with piezo-patches
The present article considers the free-vibration analysis of plate structures with piezoelectric patches by means of a plate finite element with variable through-the-thickness layer-wise kinematic. The refined models used are derived from Carrera’s Unified Formulation (CUF) and they permit the vibra...
