| This paper is concerned with mathematical aspects and numerical modeling of vibration of a circular plate with piezoelectric actuators. Particularly, a thin Kirchhoff-Love plate with arbitrary shaped actuators (e.g. pie-shaped, trapezoid, disc, and rectangular) is considered. In the theoretical model, the moments that act upon a structure and are induced by piezoelectric actuators are described by the generalized tensor product of a distribution and distribution-valued function. Numerical computations utilize the FEM approach supported by Ansys software. |
