Abstract

The present work deals with the numerical modeling of 1-3 periodic composites made of piezoceramic (PZT) fibers embedded in a soft non-piezoelectric matrix. We especially focus on predicting the effective co-efficients of the periodic transversely isotropic piezoelectric fiber composites using representative volume element method (unit cell method). The results which are obtained from the FEM technique are compared with analytical homogenization method for different volume fractions. The effective co-efficients are obtained for rectangular and hexagonal arrangement of unidirectional piezoelectric fiber composites. (© 2004 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
