A Novel Analytical Model to Design Piezoelectric Patches Used to Repair Cracked Beams

In this paper, an analytical solution describing the deflection of a cracked beam repaired with piezoelectric patch is introduced. The solution is derived using perturbation method. A novel analytical model to calculate the proper dimensions of piezoelectric patches used to repair cracked beams is a...
