Abstract:
Eigenvalue-Eigenvector approach as well as Levy type solution are used for electroelastic analysis of a doubly curved shell made of piezoelectric material based on a shear deformable model and piezoelasticity relations. The electroelastic governing equations are derived using virtual work principle. The solution is proposed for a Levy type boundary conditions with two simply-supported boundary conditions and two clamped ones. After derivation of the governing equations, a solution satisfying two simply supported boundary conditions is assumed to arrive a system of ordinary differential equations. The latest governing equations are solved using Eigenvalue-Eigenvector method to satisfy clamped-clamped boundary conditions. The distribution of displacements, rotations, electric potential, strain and stress is presented along the planar coordinate. Accuracy of the proposed solution is justified through comparison with results of previous papers.
