Suspended floors can be designed as effective pendulum seismic isolators for high-rise
buildings. However, research studies on the free vibration of suspended laminated …

Aiming at the challenge of predicting the dynamic behavior of the flapping wing in the
piezoelectric-transmission-wing (PTW) wingbeat system, a lumped-parameter model …

A parallel-connected composite with 2–1–2 connectivity and two lead-free single-crystal
(SC) components is proposed. Its high piezoelectric sensitivity is highlighted and its large …

The existence of bond exchange reactions and covalent adaptable networks (CANs) in
thermoset epoxy has facilitated its self-healing and reversible mechanical capabilities …

For the first time, Levy-type solution model and the state-space concept are employed to
investigate the hygrothermal bending response of a cross-ply laminated plate on a three …

Significant advances have been made in material synthesis in the last two decades, with a
focus on polymers, ceramics, metals, and smart materials. Piezoelectric-based smart …

Rebound and deformation of stainless steel during processing have brought great difficulties
to forming the multiple corrugated diaphragm (MCD), seriously affecting its performance …

Piezoelectric materials are widely used as actuators, due to the advantages of quick
response, high sensitivity and linear strain-electric field relationship. The previous work on …

Large flexible solar panels have the properties of light weight, low stiffness, and weak
damping, which leads to low-frequency and large-amplitude vibrations. The existing …

In this paper, experimental study for shape control of silicon mirror is done by nonlinear
piezoceramic actuator. A piezoelectric unimorph-based silicon mirror (PUSiM) is fabricated …
