Modelling of thin isotropic elastic plates with small piezoelectric inclusions and distributed electric circuits. Models for inclusions larger or comparable to the thickness of the plate

preprint2013arXivOpen access

Abstract

This paper is the second part of a work devoted to the modelling of thin elastic plates with small, periodically distributed piezoelectric inclusions. We consider the equations of linear elasticity coupled with the electrostatic equation, with various kinds of electric boundary conditions. We derive the corresponding effective models when the thickness aa of the plate and the characteristic dimension ε\varepsilon of the inclusions tend\ together to zero, in the two following situations: first when a≃εa \simeq \varepsilon, second when a/εa/\varepsilon tends to zero.
