Solid-shell element model of assumed through-thickness electric distribution for laminate composite piezoelectric structures

The eight-node solid-shell finite element models have been developed for the analysis of laminated composite pate/shell structures with piezoelectric actuators and sensors. To resolve the locking problems of the solid-shell elements in laminated materials and improve accuracy, the assumed natural st...
