Abstract
A three-dimensional time-stepping dual reciprocity boundary element method (DRBEM) modelling was investigated for anisotropic functionally graded piezoelectric Structure (FGPS) under the influence of gravitational waves. The FGPS is assumed to be graded through the thickness. The basic aim of this paper is to describe anisotropic displacement behaviour of the homogeneous piezoelectric structures (HPS) and FGPS under the influence of Gravitational waves. The accuracy of the proposed method was examined and confirmed by comparing the obtained results with those known previously. Understanding the behaviour of anisotropic FGPS under the effect of gravitational waves is the key to extending the application of these structures.
