BANGALORE ~ 560 017 ABSTRACT Distributed piezoelectric layers embedded into an elastic continuum can serve to develop sensor and actuator for smart structure applications, In present study, general procedures of finite element method are extended to piezoelectric material, where the potential , is taken as field variable. A two node Timoshenko beam element is developed using first order shear deformation theory to predict the mechanical and electrical response of the coupled system. A constitutive relation for 1-D case is derived using static condensation of the general, 3-D stress-strain relation, Element load vector formulation is done for the mechanical and electrical loads. A numerical study based on above model is done and results are compared with existing theory and other approximate models,
