Magneto-electro-elastic vibration of moderately thick FG annular plates subjected to multi physical loads in thermal environment using GDQ method by considering neutral surface

Abstract

The vibration analysis of an annular plate made up of functionally graded magneto-electro-elastic materials subjected to multi physical loads is presented. The plate is in thermal environment and temperature is distributed non-uniformly in its thickness direction. In addition, the plate is assumed moderately thick, the material properties vary through the thickness, and the exact neutral surface position is determined and took into account. According to Hamilton’s principle and the first-order shear deformation theory, the governing motion equations are extracted. Numerical results for various boundary conditions are obtained via the generalized differential quadrature method and are validated in simpler states with those of the literature. The effects of different parameters such as material property gradient index, multi physical loads, temperature variations, boundary conditions and geometric specifications of the plate on the natural frequencies and mode shapes are investigated. Temperature changes have little effect on the natural frequencies and the effect of electric potential on them is opposite of magnetic one. In other words, by increasing the magnetic potential, the rigidity of the plate increases too, and the frequency increases. The results of this study are useful to design more efficient sensors and actuators used in the smart or intelligent structures.

Quasi-3D Hyperbolic Shear Deformation Theory for the Free Vibration Study of Honeycomb Microplates with Graphene Nanoplatelets-Reinforced Epoxy Skins

“…It seems also that CET-based predictions are always more conservative than those once based on a MCST, in agreement with findings in Refs. [46][47][48][49][50] from the literature. Another key aspect of the problem can be the sensitivity of the response to various GPLs dispersions in the Epoxy matrix over a wide range of mode numbers, as listed in Table 4.…”

Free vibration analysis of a composite elliptical plate made of a porous core and two piezoelectric layers

“…Due to the homogeneity of piezoelectric layers and the substitution of strains from equation ( 4) with the electric field in equation ( 20), the strain energy of piezoelectric actuator layers is obtained as shown in equation (29).…”

Asymmetric free vibration analysis of first-order shear deformable functionally graded magneto-electro-thermo-elastic circular plates

“…The position of the neutral surface of the plate is determined to satisfy the first moment with respect to elastic stiffness being zero as follows 35 where C shows the distance of the mid-plane of the plate from the neutral surface position and z ms is measured from the mid-surface. Consequently, it can be obtained as …”
