Electromechanical properties of continuous fibre-reinforced piezoelectric composites

Abstract:

The objective of this paper is to present analytical expressions of the basic effective constants (for transducer applications) of fibrous piezoelectric composites with a periodic structure. These expressions were obtained on the basis of the asymptotic averaging method, following the same procedure used in [1] for the purely elastic case. The averaged electromechanical properties for these piezocomposites can be calculated from the above formulas. The results obtained from the theoretical pbkp_redictions with the use of homogenization' method show good agreement with the existing experimental results.
