Abstract Nonlinear dynamic responses of structures integrated with piezoelectric materials are studied. Finite element formulations are derived on the basis of the updated Lagrangian formulation and the principle of virtual work. Twenty-node solid elements including electrical degrees of freedom are developed to analyze structures with piezoelectric sensors and actuators and multipoint constraints for electrical degrees of freedom are utilized to simulate electrodes. A limited number of numerical examples are presented in order to verify the accuracy and convergence of the present formulation and to demonstrate its usefulness for and applicability to solutions of large deformation dynamic responses of piezoelectric structures.

1. Introduction In recent decades, special attention has been paid to integrating piezoelectric materials which can be used for both sensors and actuators into base structures for structural control purpose. As a result of the increasing applications of piezoelectric materials, the accurate prediction of the performance of smart structures with sensing, actuating, and control functions becomes increasingly important. Beam, plate and shell structures with bonded or embedded piezoelectric actuators and sensors have been studied. Crawley and de Luis [1] studied vibration control of cantilever elastic and composite beams with surface-bonded and embedded piezoelectric materials analytically and

experimentally. By considering both axial and transverse shear forces, Im and Atluri [2] studied the e!ects of a piezoelectric actuator mounted on a "nitely deformed beam based upon a static analysis. Lee [3] developed a theory for laminated piezoelectric plates based on the classical plate theory. Batra and Liang [4] also analyzed the steady-state vibration of a simply supported rectangular linear elastic laminated plate with embedded PZT layers. For thin laminated shells with piezoelectric layers, motion equations were derived by Tzou and Gadre [5] based upon Love's "rst-approximation shell theory and Hamilton's principle. Since analytical approaches are restricted to relatively simple geometries and boundary conditions, they cannot deal with complex piezoelectric structures. Finite element methods become very important and have been widely employed to model piezoelectric structures. Lammering [6] derived a "nite element formulation based on the shell theory for composite shell structures integrated with sensors and actuators. A shell element covered by the piezoelectric layers at the upper and lower surface symmetrically was developed. Hwang and Park [7] employed the classical laminate theory with the induced actuation and variational principles to formulate equations of motion. The plate element without the electro-mechanical coupling was developed. The total charge on the sensor layer was calculated from the direct piezoelectric equation. In order to model structures with complex geometry, isoparametric hexahedron and tetrahedral solid elements were developed for piezoceramic structures [8,9]. Ha et al. [10] also presented a "nite element formulation with eight-node threedimensional composite brick elements. For thin-walled piezoelectric structures, Tzou and Tseng [11] developed a solid "nite element for thin piezoelectric structures based on an eight-node solid element by introducing the incompatible models into the linear interpolation function. Yi et al. [12] developed a "nite element formulation using a solid element with Allman's rotation in order to analyze composite structures with smart constrained layers. Their study was focused on the use of viscoelastic damping and piezoelectric materials for the active and passive vibration and noise control and the "nite element formulation is developed on the basis of visco-piezoelectricity. Large deformation analyses for beam, plate and shell structures with piezoelectric materials have been reported in the literature. Kulkarni and Hanagud [13] derived a variational formulation for a combined isotropic, linearly elastic body and a piezoelectric body undergoing small or large deformations. A two-dimensional "nite element formulation based on the variational principle was applied to solve static and dynamic problems involving temporally and spatially varying electric "elds. Pai et al. [14] presented a nonlinear theory for the dynamics and active control of elastic laminated plates with integrated piezoelectric actuators and sensors undergoing large-rotation and small-strain vibrations. Preiswerk and Venkatesh [15] studied the vibration control of #exible links provided with nearly collocated piezoceramic sensors and actuators undergoing geometrically nonlinear de#ections. Euler}Bernoulli-theory-based beam "nite elements with p-convergence capabilities had been developed using the total Lagrangian formulation in order to represent large rotations of links. Icardi and Sciuva [16] employed the von Karman strain}displacement relations to investigate the stress "eld of multilayered intelligent anisotropic plates with a surfacebonded piezoelectric actuator layer. However, only limited work has been reported in the literature on the large deformation "nite element formulation of smart structures using solid elements. In the present study, dynamic responses of structures integrated with piezoelectric sensors and actuators under large geometrical deformation are considered. Finite element formulations are derived on the basis of the updated Lagrangian formulation and the principle of virtual work. In order to model complex piezoelectric structures, 20-node solid elements including electrical degrees

nonlinear analyses are considered. A cantilever beam with a piezoelectric patch is shown in Fig. 2. A total of six elements with 80 nodes are employed for the analysis. Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio of the beam are taken as E"1.97]1011 N/m2 and l"0.33. The mass density is 7900 kg/m3. The constant load P"10 N is applied at the tip of the beam. Fig. 3 shows the dynamic responses of the beam calculated by the present method. Corresponding voltage outputs from the piezoelectric patch are also illustrated in Fig. 4. As shown in Fig. 3, the magnitude of the de#ections and the vibration frequency are signi"cantly a!ected by large deformation. The magnitude of the tip de#ection of the beam calculated by the large deformation analysis is about 71.1% smaller than one by the linear analysis. Fig. 4 shows that the large deformation analysis reduces the magnitude of the output voltage by 27.3%. The results show that the output voltages are not linearly dependent on the of tip de#ections. Secondly, a square plate with a central piezoelectric patch is considered. All four edges of the plate are clamped. Fig. 5 shows a quarter of the plate. A total of 26 elements with 240 nodes are used for this study. Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio of the plate are taken as E"1.97]1011 N/m2 and l"0.33, respectively. The mass density is 7900 kg/m3. The uniform pressure P"2]104 Pa is applied to the surface. Fig. 6 shows the central dynamic de#ections calculated by in"nitesimal and large deformation analyses. Corresponding voltage outputs of the piezoelectric patch are also illustrated in Fig. 7. The results are similar to those for the cantilever beam. Considered next is a composite cylindrical shell with central piezoelectric patch. The dimensions of the cylindrical shell are shown in Fig. 8. All four edges of the cylindrical shell are clamped. A total of 44 elements are employed for a "nite element model. The material properties of the composite shell are taken as E "E "9.653]1010 N/m2, 11 22 E "12.4]1010 N/m2, l "l "l "0.34, and G "G "G "6.205]109 N/m2. The 33 12 23 13 12 23 13

mass density is 1520 kg/m3. The time step size is *t"1]10~4 s. The principle direction 3 is along the straight edge of the cylindrical shell and the direction 2 is normal to the shell surface. The radial uniform pressure P"6]104 Pa is applied to the surface of the cylindrical shell.

4. Conclusions Based on the updated Lagrangian formulation, the geometrically nonlinear "nite element formulations have been developed for the analyses of structures integrated with piezoelectric materials. Twenty-node solid elements including electrical degrees of freedom have been developed and multipoint constraint equations for electrical degrees of freedom are adopted to simulate electrodes for piezoelectric materials. Numerical results show that de#ection amplitude, vibration frequency and output voltage are signi"cantly in#uenced by the large deformation of structures.
