In this work, the effect of electrical loads on the bending behavior of a simply supported cylindrical shell made of composite and piezoelectric layups have been considered. A new 8 terms higher order shear deformation theory (HSDT8) is proposed and used to analyze the problems. The HSDT8 is the extensional of FSDT by incorporating Murakami zig-zag
