GENERAL SOLUTIONS OF SMART MATERIALS AND STRUCTURES PART TWO: INTELLIGENT CANTILEVER BEAM UNDER TENSION

As the second part of these series works, the present paper deals with the piezoelectric cantilever beam under tension by use of the semi-inverse method. The piezoelectric cantilever beam is considered under three different cases: without body force, with constant body force and with gradient body force. The general solutions of the electro-mechanical fields in the smart beam are obtained and discussed.
