keywords = {A third-order shear deformation beam theory (TSDBT) is used to analyze interlaminar stresses in generally laminated composite beams with piezoelectric actuators subjected to electrical loading. The non-linear strain-displacement relations in the von-Kàrmàn sense are used to study the effect of geometric non-linearity on interlaminar stresses. The equilibrium equations are obtained by using the principle of minimum total potential energy and then solved exactly. The numerical results clearly indicate the singular behavior of interlaminar normal and shear stresses near the ends of the laminated beam.},
