7.3 Summary
The chapter conducted numerical investigations on MFC bonded smart structures.
First, an MFC plate was analyzed for validation test of MFC models. The finite
element models of MFC-d31 or MFC-d33 were performed on MFC monolithic or
composite plates with consideration of various piezo fiber orientations. In the last
part, geometrically nonlinear analysis of multi-MFC bonded plate and semicircular
shell was studied.
