Effect of Porosity on Nonlinear Tip Deflection of Functionally Graded Piezoelectric Actuators by Mohammad Gholami, Mansour Alizadeh

“…In addition, variation in the volume fraction index in the range 0&ndash;1 leads to the highest rate of change in actuator tip deflection. By comparing the results of the linear and nonlinear theories, It has been found that the linear theory overestimates the deformations in the case of strong electromechanical loading. …”
