On modelling and stabilizability of voltage-controlled piezoelectric material

Abstract

In this paper, we present a new piezoelectric actuator and piezoelectric composite model and show the well-posedness of these systems. Furthermore, we show that the piezoelectric composite is stabilizable for certain system parameters. In this work, we also review several piezoelectric beams, actuators, and composite models and provide improved definitions of the different electromagnetic considerations, i.e. fully dynamic electromagnetic field, quasi-static electric field, and the static lectric field assumption.
