Large deflection analysis of magneto-electro-elastic laminates
2013
Magneto-electro-elastic (MEE) composites containing piezoelectric and piezo-magnetic phases have recently emerged for many application smart structures technology. In this framework, the development of tools to analyze the MEE laminates is essential for their efficient design. In the present work, a model for the large deflection analysis of MEE laminated plates is proposed. The first order shear deformation theory and the von Karman stress function approach are employed to model the mechanical behavior whereas quasi-static behavior is assumed for the electro-magnetic quantities. First, the magneto-electric problem is solved in terms of the plate mechanical primary variables. In turn, this …
An equivalent single-layer model for magnetoelectroelastic multilayered plate dynamics
2012
Abstract An equivalent single-layer model for the dynamic analysis of magnetoelectroelastic laminated plates is presented. The electric and magnetic fields are assumed to be quasi-static and the first-order shear deformation theory is used. The formulation of the model provides for a preliminary fulfillment of the electro-magnetic governing equations, which allows to determine the electric and magnetic potential as functions of the mechanical variables. Then, by using this result, the equations of motion are written leading to the problem governing equations. They involve the same terms of the elastic dynamic problem weighted by effective stiffness coefficients, which take the magneto-elect…
