Full TextAbstract
In this paper, analytical solutions of displacements and stresses in beams with integrated sensors and actuators are obtained based on a new and the existing first-order shear deformation beam theories. It is assumed that the beams are subjected to both mechanical and electrical loadings. The new theory is simple and straightforward and also free from the inversion of certain matrices which can be an inconvenience as far as developing more advanced laminated beam theories are concerned. The procedure is general and, therefore, can be used to develop higher-order and layerwise theories. For the assessment of the accuracy of this theory, analytical solutions are obtained and compared with those of existing first-order beam theory. It is found that the new beam theory can predict accurately displacements and stresses in the beams.
