..., such structures play a very important role in the practical design. In this paper, the actuation performance of piezoelectric laminated plate actuator (PLPA) is analyzed based on Galerkin method to parametric study the shape control. Design/methodology/approach In this paper, the actuation performance of PLPA...

... is shown to be valid by means of single-term Galerkin method. Large values of conduction–radiation and absorptivity parameters are avoided as fluid is considered as liquid rather than gas. Findings The radiative heat transfer effect on a couple-stress dielectric fluid saturated anisotropic porous...
