Abstract
A study on the problem of linear buckling of piezoelectric circular cylindrical shells subjected to external pressure as well as on an electric field is presented. In this paper, the structure is treated as a three-dimensional one. The results reveal that the piezoelectric effect has significant effect on the critical load, while the stress due to the uniformly applied electric field alone is not likely to cause elastic buckling. In addition, they can also be used to assess the limitation of shell theories in predicting buckling of piezoelectric smart shell structures.
