Summary

Smart magneto-electro-elastic (MEE) materials receive broad attention owing to their specialized and coupled behavior under thermal, electric, magnetic and mechanical loading conditions. MEE is also increasingly used in various engineering fields, especially for sensors and actuators, energy harvesting, where the coupling among different fields provides great potentials for better design of smart structures. Multi-physical analysis, including small-scale characterization, testing, and modeling methods, are in demand to unveil the intrinsic coupled behaviors and multiphase characters in smart MEE composites and structures, with the purpose of facilitating their further applications. This special issue aims at collecting the latest developments and new insights in experimental and numerical modeling of smart MEE composites.

    Abstract This study aims to investigate the propagation of harmonic waves in nonlocal magneto-electro-elastic (MEE) laminated composites with interface stress imperfections using an analytical approach. The pseudo-Stroh formulation and nonlocal theory proposed by Eringen were adopted to derive the propagator matrix for each layer. Both the propagator and interface matrices were formulated to determine the recursive fields. Subsequently, the dispersion equation was obtained by imposing traction-free and magneto-electric circuit open boundary conditions on the top and bottom surfaces of the plate. Dispersion curves, mode shapes, and natural frequencies were calculated for sandwich plates composed of BaTiO3 and More >
