摘要

In this paper, a nonlinear Finite Element (FE) approach based on the layerwise displacement theory is utilized to obtain the interlaminar stresses due to buckling phenomena in unsymmetric laminated smart composite morphing structure. An On/Off control strategy is designed to control the snap-through phenomena. Due to cycling nature of applied load on morphing, these structures are vulnerable to failure due to fatigue. A failure control mechanism utilizing a piezoelectric actuator is developed to control the failure.
