Piezoelectric Bending Control of Nonlinear Viscoelastic Plates: Probabilities of Failure and Survival Times

Abstract

Analytical and numerical formulations and simulations are carried out in order to conduct sensitivity studies of physical parameters motion and amplitude control by viscoelastic piezoelectric and material damping of viscoelastic plates. Numerical simulations in terms of critical parameters, such as relaxation functions of the structure and piezoelectric devices, are carried out to evaluate system responses, sensing and structural control.
