Abstract
The paper presents a numerical homogenisation approach to calculate the effective properties of fibre and particle reinforced materials including smart and multifunctional materials with a focus on piezoelectric fibre composites applied to control vibration and noise radiation of structures. This finite element based homogenisation is used to optimise the material distribution at the micro-scale by applying an evolutionary approach to receive a desired global behaviour of a structure at the macro-scale.
