Notes:
In this article, the flexural displacement of plate-type piezoelectric composite actuators(PCA) with various lay-up configurations has been evaluated considering the thermal deformationsinduced by a temperature drop using a three-dimensional finite element simulation. The resultsreveal that the flexural displacement of PCA subjected to electrical loadings is significantly affectedby their lay-up configurations, the thickness of constituent PZT ceramic and applied boundaryconditions, which is associated with the location of the neutral plane by moment equilibrium andthe bending stiffness of PCA. For the displacement performance of PCA, an adequate choice of layupconfiguration together with the proper thickness of PZT ceramic is required
