Control of Thermal Stress in a Piezo-Composite Disk

This article deals with a stress control problem of a composite circular disk consisting of a structural layer onto which piezoceramic layers are bonded. When a heating temperature distribution acts on the bottom free surface, the maximum thermal stress in the structural layer can be controlled by applying electric potentials to electrodes concentrically arranged on each piezoceramic layer. The applied electric potentials are determined by solving an optimization problem so that the maximum thermal stress in the structural layer is minimized subject to constraints on the stresses in the piezoceramic layers. Finally, numerical results are presented.
