This numerical project investigates the active control and mitigation of crack propagation in a thin-walled aluminum damage plate. A surface-bonded piezoelectric (PZT) actuator is integrated to induce counteracting compressive stresses around the crack tip via the inverse piezoelectric effect, effectively reducing the mode-I Stress Intensity Factor ($K_I$) under mechanical tensile loading."
