AN INVERSE THERMOELASTIC PROBLEM IN AN ISOTROPIC PLATE ASSOCIATED WITH A PIEZOELECTRIC CERAMIC PLATE

摘要

This article discusses an inverse thermoelastic problem in an isotropic structural plate onto which a piezoelectric ceramic plate is perfectly bonded. When unknown heating temperature acts on the free surface of the isotropic structural plate, an electric potential is induced in the piezoelectric ceramic plate. Therefore, the unknown heating temperature is inferred from the prescribed electric potential, and then response quantities in the thermal, elastic, and electric fields are derived too. Finally numerical results are illustrated graphically.
