This contribution presents a multidisciplinary review of the so-called field-dependent
nonlinear piezoelectricity. It starts with an introduction that poses the literature analysis …

A thin triple-layer piezoelectric bender, also known as a piezoelectric bimorph with a metal
shim, consists of an elastic layer (metal shim) sandwiched between two piezoelectric layers …

Thin piezoelectric bimorph cantilever is increasingly employed throughout the field of
actuator and sensor applications in the microelectromechanical system (MEMS). Generally …

This study presents a novel finite element (FE) for shell structures including piezoelectric
actuators and sensors. Based on a conventional 8-node shell formulation and the classical …

In this article, we focus on static finite element (FE) simulation of piezoelectric laminated
composite plates and shells, considering the nonlinear constitutive behavior of piezoelectric …

In this paper, we present a non‐linear finite element formulation for piezoelectric shell
structures. Based on a mixed multi‐field variational formulation, an electro‐mechanical …

The present work focuses on the development of the exact geometry piezoelectric four-node
