Exact axisymmetric solutions for laminated transversely isotropic piezoelectric circular plate (Ⅰ)——Exact solutions for piezoelectric circular plate

Based on three-dimensional elastic equations for piezoelectric materials, the state equations for piezoelectric circular plate under axisymmetric deformation are derived. Applying Hankel transform to them and letting the free boundary terms resulting from Hankel transform be zero, a set of ordinary differential equations with constant coefficients and associated boundary conditions are obtained. Furthermore, two exact solutions corresponding to generalized rigid slipping and generalized elastic simple support are deduced. Then, the governing equations obtained reduce to equations for axisymmetric problem of transversely isotropic circular plate. Under the two types of boundary conditions of elastic simple support and rigid slipping, exact solutions are derived. Finally, numerical results are presented and applicability of the classical plate theory is discussed.
