Abstract

his paper presents a parametric optimization procedure in order to obtain the best position of an actuator bonded to a thin plate. The semi-analytical static response is determined by means of the pb-2 Rayleigh-Ritz Method. The design parameters for the optimization problem are chosen as the position (2-D) and the orientation of a rectangular shaped actuator. The electric-mechanical coupling influence is represented as mechanical forces applied to the plate’s reference surface. The main objective of this work is to find the optimal design sets which would produce a mechanical loading condition that minimizes the transverse displacement of a given point in the plate. The methodology is applied and solutions are obtained for several boundary plate conditions.
