Asymptotic modeling of linearly piezoelectric slender rods

Abstract

The piezoelectric thin plate modeling already derived by the authors is extended to rod-like structures. Two models corresponding to sensor or actuator behavior are obtained. The conditions of existence of non-local terms in the limit models are discussed. To cite this article: T. Weller, C. Licht, C. R. Mecanique 336 (2008). © 2008 Académie des sciences.
