Abstract

The formulation of one Timoshenko curved beam on which a pair of piezoelectric segments bonded is presented. The analytical-transfer matrix method is adopted to study structural responses of the surface-mounted actuation curved beam induced by an external force at the tip of the beam and by an applied voltage on the actuator. The effects of length, location and thickness of the piezoelectric pair on the structural responses of the entire curved beam are investigated.
