Dynamic Response of a Thick Piezoelectric Circular Cylindrical Panel: An Exact Solution by Atta Oveisi, Mohammad Gudarzi, Seyyed Mohammad Hasheminejad

“…The piezomaterials, because of their ability in converting both mechanical stress and electricity to each other, are very applicable in this field. However, most of the works available used various inexact two-dimensional theories with certain types of simplification, which are inaccurate in some applications such as thick shells while, in some applications due to request of large displacement/stress, thick piezoelectric panel is needed and two-dimensional theories have not enough accuracy. …”
