Model-based approaches have been widely employed in damage detection and localization
studies. However, alternative techniques, such as built-in online detection methods, hold …

In this study, the continuous and discontinuous contact problems of functionally graded (FG)
layer resting on a rigid foundation were considered. The top of the FG layer was loaded by a …

A finite element approach for modal analysis of square FGM plates is developed by the
ABACUS software coupled with FORTRAN. The Material properties are assumed to be …

The active vibration control of a composite plate using discrete piezoelectric patches has
been investigated. Based on first order shear deformation theory, a finite element model with …

This study introduces piezoelectric actuators for blade vibration control and aims to establish
both experimental and numerical benchmarks for active vibration control with macro fiber …

The optimal value of the expansion factor and quantization factor parameters is the key to
determine the performance of the variable domain fuzzy proportion-integral-derivative (PID) …

In this paper, the radial basis collocation method (RBCM) for the free vibration response of
elastically supported porous bi-directional functionally graded (BDPFG) plate is investigated …

In this paper, we present a novel optimization approach employing Artificial Neural Networks
(ANN) to enhance electric power generation in functionally graded piezoelectric tapered …

The application of carbon fiber in the drive shaft received grave concern in vehicle design
due to its excellent lightweight and mechanical properties. This paper proposed and …

In this paper, a formulation of a sandwich plate integrating an elastic central layer (isotropic
or composite) between two piezoelectric sub-layers (actuators and/or sensors), which can …
