This paper presents a finite element model for a
Sandwich Plate containing a piezoelectric core. A sandwich plate
with a piezoelectric core is constructed using the shear mode of
piezoelectric materials. The orientation of poling vector has a
significant effect on deflection and stress induced in the piezoactuated
adaptive sandwich plate. In the present study, the influence
of this factor for a clamped-clamped-free-free and simple-simplefree-
free square sandwich plate is investigated using Finite Element
Method. The study uses ABAQUS (v.6.7) software to derive the finite
element model of the sandwich plate. By using this model, the study
gives the influences of the poling vector angle on the response of the
smart structure and determines the maximum transverse displacement
and maximum stress induced.
