Publication Metadata only Electroelastic modeling of thin-laminated composite plates with surface-bonded piezo-patches using Rayleigh–Ritz method(Sage Publications Ltd, 2018) N/A; N/A; N/A; Department of Mechanical Engineering; Gözüm, Mehmet Murat; Aghakhani, Amirreza; Serhat, Gökhan; Başdoğan, İpek; PhD Student; PhD Student; PhD Student; Faculty Member; Department of Mechanical Engineering; Graduate School of Sciences and Engineering; Graduate School of Sciences and Engineering; Graduate School of Sciences and Engineering; College of Engineering; N/A; N/A; N/A; 179940Laminated composite panels are extensively used in various engineering applications. Piezoelectric transducers can be integrated into such composite structures for a variety of vibration control and energy harvesting applications. Analyzing the structural dynamics of such electromechanical systems requires precise modeling tools which properly consider the coupling between the piezoelectric elements and the laminates. Although previous analytical models in the literature cover vibration analysis of laminated composite plates with fully covered piezoelectric layers, they do not provide a formulation for modeling the piezoelectric patches that partially cover the plate surface. In this study, a methodology for vibration analysis of laminated composite plates with surface-bonded piezo-patches is developed. Rayleigh-Ritz method is used for solving the modal analysis and obtaining the frequency response functions. The developed model includes mass and stiffness contribution of the piezo-patches as well as the two-way electromechanical coupling effect. Moreover, an accelerated method is developed for reducing the computation time of the modal analysis solution. For validations, system-level finite element simulations are performed in ANSYS software. The results show that the developed analytical model can be utilized for accurate and efficient analysis and design of laminated composite plates with surface-bonded piezo-patches.Publication Metadata only An investigation of the electromechanical coupling and broadband shunt damping in composite plates with integrated piezo-patches(Sage Publications Ltd, 2019) N/A; N/A; Department of Mechanical Engineering; Gözüm, Mehmet Murat; Aghakhani, Amirreza; Başdoğan, İpek; PhD Student; PhD Student; Department of Mechanical Engineering; Graduate School of Sciences and Engineering; College of Engineering; N/A; N/A; 179940The popularity of laminated composite plate-like structures is increasing in various engineering applications. Piezoelectric patches with electrical circuit elements can be integrated into these structures for shunt damping applications. for analyzing the shunt damping performance of these systems, precise modeling tools are required, which consider the two-way electromechanical coupling between the piezo-patches and the host plate. This study aims to identify the system parameters which affect the electromechanical coupling coefficient, A metric for measuring the effectiveness of mechanical-to-electrical energy conversion. for that purpose, A thorough investigation is performed to determine the critical system parameters and their combined effects on the electromechanical coupling coefficient of laminated composite plates with surface-bonded piezo-patches. First, the first four natural frequencies of the electromechanical system are obtained using the Rayleigh-Ritz method for various patch sizes. then, the electromechanical coupling coefficient variations for a different set of system parameters are presented. Later, to demonstrate the applicability of the developed methodology for a broader frequency range, four independently shunted piezo-pairs are attached to the plate. the contours of electromechanical coupling coefficient values with respect to ply angle and patch-pair size are presented for the first four modes. Finally, the vibration amplitudes are successfully reduced for these modes using the optimal system parameters.Publication Metadata only A semi-analytical model for dynamic analysis of non-uniform plates(Elsevier, 2019) N/A; N/A; N/A; Department of Mechanical Engineering; Gözüm, Mehmet Murat; Serhat, Gökhan; Başdoğan, İpek; PHD. Student; PHD Student; Faculty Member; Department of Mechanical Engineering; Graduate School of Sciences and Engineering; Graduate School of Sciences and Engineering; College of Engineering; N/A; N/A; N/A; 179940Dynamic properties of the plate structures can be enhanced by introducing discontinuities of different kinds such as using surface-bonded discrete patches or spatially varying the stiffness and mass properties of the plate. Fast and reliable design of such complex structures requires efficient and accurate modeling tools. In this study, a novel semi-analytical model is developed for the dynamic analysis of plates having discrete and/or continuous non-uniformities. Two-dimensional Heaviside unit step functions are utilized to represent the discontinuities. Different from existing numerical methods based on Heaviside functions, a numerical technique is proposed for modeling the discontinuities that are not necessarily aligned with the plate axes. The governing equations are derived using Hamilton's principle and Rayleigh-Ritz method is used for determining the modal variables. The surface-bonded patches are used to demonstrate discrete non-uniformities where variable stiffness laminates are selected to represent continuous non-uniform structures. Natural frequencies and mode shapes obtained using the proposed method are validated with finite element analyses and the existing results from the literature. The results show that the developed model performs accurately and efficiently. (C) 2019 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
