Abstract
An electromechanical Reissner–Mindlin model is constructed for laminated piezoelectric plates using the variational asymptotic method. This model is applicable to laminates without prescribed electric potential through the thickness. Taking advantage of the smallness of the plate thickness, we rigorously split the original 3D piezoelectricity problem into a 1D through-the-thickness analysis and a 2D plate analysis, and both are fully-coupled electromechanical analyses. Examples of single layer and multi-layer plates have been used to demonstrate the accuracy and application of this model.
