Abstract
This paper deals with the development of a family of higher
order B-spline finite strip models applied to the static and
free vibration analysis of laminated plates, which can have
arbitrary shape aid lay-ups, loading aid boundary conditions.
The models consider the possibility of embedded and/or
surface bonded piezoelectric actuators and sensors. The
structure is discretised in a specified number of strips and the
geometry and displacement components of each strip are
represented by interpolating functions written as products of
linear or cubic B-spline. aid linear or quadratic Lagrangean
functions along the y and x orthonormal directions
respectively. The accuracy and relative performance of the
proposed discrete models are compared and discussed among
the developed and alternative models.
