Effect of piezoelectric damping layers on the dynamic stability of plate under a thrust

The structure model is based on the first-order shear deformation plate theory, and the finite element method is applied in the numerical analysis. In addition, the method of multiple scales is adopted to analyze the parametrically excited system. This analysis is specifically focused on the mutual interaction of the thrust and the piezoelectric active-damping layer for the vibration suppression. In this paper, the effects of the active-damping layer with piezoelectric sensors/actuators are discussed in detail.
