Refined equivalent single layer formulations and finite elements for smart laminates free vibrations
2014
A family of 2D refined equivalent single layer models for multilayered and functionally graded smart magneto-electro-elastic plates is presented. They are based on variable kinematics and quasi-static behavior for the electromagnetic fields. First, the electromagnetic state of the plate is determined by solving the strong form of the electromagnetic governing equations coupled with the corresponding interface continuity conditions and external boundary conditions. The electromagnetic state is then condensed into the plate kinematics, whose governing equations can be written using the generalized principle of virtual displacements. The procedure identifies an effective elastic plate kinemati…
Layer-wise and equivalent single layer models for smart multilayered plates
2014
Layer-wise and equivalent single layer plate models for magneto-electro-elastic multiphysics laminates are presented in a unified framework. They are based on variable kinematics and quasi-static behavior of the electromagnetic fields. The electromagnetic state of each single layer is preliminary determined by solving the corresponding governing equations coupled with the proper interface continuity and external boundary conditions. By so doing, the electromagnetic state is condensed into the plate kinematics and the layer governing equations are inferred by the principle of virtual displacements. This approach identifies effective mechanical layers, which are kinematically equivalent to th…
