Abstract
General micromechanical models for smart composite shells with periodically arranged actuators and varying thickness are developed
using the asymptotic homogenization techniques. The models make it possible to determine both local elds, i.e., stresses, strains and
displacements, and effective elastic and piezoelectric coefcients of the smart composite shells. It is shown that the original boundary
value problem decouples into a set of simpler problems, known as unit cell problems. In particular, it is the solution of these unit cell
problems that yields the aforesaid effective coefcients. These coefcients are universal in nature and may be used to study a wide variety
of boundary value problems associated with a given smart composite structure. The derived models and the expressions for the effective
coefcients are illustrated by means of four examples pertaining to hexagonal honeycomb sandwich structures and rectangular-
reinforced, diagonally restrained and triangular-reinforced smart wafer shells. These structures are endowed with piezoelectric carrier
layers made of orthotropic material and isotropic core or wafer. It is shown that the derived models can be used to tailor the effective
properties of such smart composite structures to meet the requirements of particular applications of interest.

The present paper develops the micromechanical model

modeling technique. The mathematical framework of tangential dimensions dh1 and dh2 of the periodicity cell of
asymptotic homogenization is based on the developments
found in Refs. [39,40,4345]. The applied method is
mathematically rigorous and enables the prediction of
both the local stresses and the global effective properties.
The asymptotic homogenization model for an elastic plate
with a periodically inhomogeneous in-plane conguration
was rst introduced by Duvaut [46]. It is worth noting
however, that the direct application of the asymptotic
homogenization technique to a smart composite plate or
shell will not yield satisfactory results if the spatial
inhomogeneities of the material vary on a scale which is
comparable with the small thickness of structure being
studied. To overcome this problem, Caillerie [47] developed D
d
a modied approach in his heat conduction studies, in
which he introduced two sets of variables, one for the
tangential directions (characterized by periodicity) and one
for the transverse direction for which periodic considera-
tions do not apply. The present paper uses this modied Fig. 1. Curvilinear thin composite shell with wavy surfaces.
