Abstract

A numerical method fur performance evaluation of LIPCA is proposed using a finite element method. Fully coupled formulations for piezo-electric material are introduced and eight-node incompatible element is used. After verifying the developed code, the behaviors of LIPCA and $THUNDER^{TM}$ are investigated.
