• Thermo-electro-mechanical characteristics of functionally graded piezoelectric actuators (2007, background): “…numerical, and experimental studies have been conducted to analyze the electro-static and electro-dynamic behavior of traditional piezoelectric actuators (Saravanos and Heyliger 1999, Frecker 2003), but research on the thermo-electro-mechanical response of FGPM actuators is still limited.”
• Topology optimization of smart structures: design of piezoelectric plate and shell actuators (2005, background): “A number of authors have studied the problem of optimal distribution of piezoelectric actuators in the past few years (for a review, see Frecker 2003), usually by trying to find the optimal placement of small pieces of piezoelectrics on the plate or shell structure using optimization algorithms.”
