Establishing the relationship between the transferring stress and the controlling signal, namely the transferring and actuating equation, is a key step to analyze the actuating performance of the PCE. Based on the method of the shear lag theory, the procedure of the stress transferring is analyzed and the transferring and actuating model is established in this paper. Some measurements for PCE(PZT5) actuating the Glass Fiber/Epoxy laminate have been done to verify the model established. The experimental results show that the theoretical model agrees well with the practice. Finally, the effect of the main factors on PCE actuating the laminate is studied by using the experimental and theoretical results.展开更多
