efficient modeling strategies are essential to predict the multiphysic behavior of advanced structures accurately.Therefore,the manuscript presents a higher-order formulation for the static analysis of laminated anisotropic magneto-electro-elastic doubly-curved shell structures.The fundamental relations account for the full coupling between the electric field,magnetic field,and mechanical elasticity.The configuration variables are expanded along the thickness direction using a generalized formulation based on the Equivalent Layer-Wise approach.Higher-order polynomials are selected,allowing for the assessment of prescribed values of the configuration variables at the top and bottom sides of solids.In addition,an effective strategy is provided for modeling general surface distributions of mechanical pressures and electromagnetic external fluxes.The model is based on a continuum-based formulation which employs an analytical homogenization of the multifield material properties,based on Mori&Tanaka approach,of a magneto-electro-elastic composite material obtained from a piezoelectric and a piezomagnetic phase,with coupled magneto-electro-elastic effects.A semi-analytical Navier solution is applied to the fundamental equations,and an efficient post-processing equilibrium-based procedure is here used,based on the numerical assessment with the Generalized Differential Quadrature(GDQ)method,to recover the response of three-dimensional shells.The formulation is validated through various examples,investigating the multifield response of panels of different curvatures and lamination schemes.An efficient homogenization procedure,based on the Mori&Tanaka approach,is employed to obtain the three-dimensional constitutive relation of magneto-electro-elastic materials.Each model is validated against three-dimensional finite-element simulations,as developed in commercial codes.Furthermore,the full coupling effect between the electric and magnetic response is evaluated via a parametric investigation,with useful insights for design purposes of many engineering applications.The paper,thus,provides a formulation for the magneto-electro-elastic analysis of laminated structures,with a high computational efficiency,since it provides results with three-dimensional capabilities with a two-dimensional formulation.The adoption of higher-order theories,indeed,allows us to efficiently predict not only the mechanical response of the structure as happens in existing literature,but also the through-the-thickness distribution of electric and magnetic variables.A novel higher-order theory has been proposed in this work for the magneto-electro-elastic analysis of laminated shell structures with varying curvatures.This theory employs a generalized method to model the distribution of the displacement field components,electrostatic,and magneto-static potential,accounting for higher-order polynomials.The thickness functions have been defined to prescribe the arbitrary values of configuration variables at the top and bottom surfaces,even though the model is ESL-based.The fundamental governing equations have been derived in curvilinear principal coordinates,considering all coupling effects among different physical phenomena,including piezoelectric,piezomagnetic,and magneto-electric effects.A homogenization algorithm based on a Mori&Tanaka approach has been adopted to obtain the equivalent magneto-electro-mechanical properties of a two-phase transversely isotropic composite.In addition,an effective method has been adopted involving the external loads in terms of surface tractions,as well as the electric and magnetic fluxes.In the post-processing stage,a GDQ-based procedure provides the actual 3D response of a doubly-curved solid.The model has been validated through significant numerical examples,showing that the results of this semi-analytical theory align well with those obtained from 3D numerical models from commercial codes.In particular,the accuracy of the model has been verified for lamination schemes with soft layers and various curvatures under different loading conditions.Moreover,this formulation has been used to predict the effect of combined electric and magnetic loads on the mechanical response of panels with different curvatures and lamination schemes.As a consequence,this theory can be applied in engineering applications where the combined effect of electric and magnetic loads is crucial,thus facilitating their study and design.An existing limitation of this study is that the solution is that it is derived only for structures with uniform curvature,cross-ply lamination scheme,and simply supported boundary conditions.Furthermore,it requires that each lamina within the stacking sequence exhibits magneto-electro-elastic behavior.Therefore,at the present stage,it cannot be used for multifield analysis of classical composite structures with magneto-electric patches.A further enhancement of the research work could be the derivation of a solution employing a numerical technique,to overcome the limitations of the Navier method.In this way,the same theory may be adopted to predict the multifield response of structures with variable curvatures and thickness,as well as anisotropic materials and more complicated boundary conditions.Acknowledgement:The authors are grateful to the Department of Innovation Engineering of Univer-sity of Salento for the support.展开更多

文摘The present article considers the free-vibration analysis of plate structures with piezoelectric patches by means of a plate finite element with variable through-the-thickness layer-wise kinematic.The refined models used are derived from Carrera’s Unified Formulation(CUF)and they permit the vibration modes along the thickness to be accurately described.The finite-element method is employed and the plate element implemented has nine nodes,and the mixed interpolation of tensorial component(MITC)method is used to contrast the membrane and shear locking phenomenon.The related governing equations are derived from the principle of virtual displacement,extended to the analysis of electromechanical problems.An isotropic plate with piezoelectric patches is analyzed,with clamped-free boundary conditions and subjected to open-and short-circuit configurations.The results,obtained with different theories,are compared with the higher-order type solutions given in the literature.The conclusion is reached that the plate element based on the CUF is more suitable and efficient compared to the classical models in the study of multilayered structures embedding piezo-patches.
文摘This study proposes a three-dimensional(3D)coupled magneto-electro-elastic problem for the static analysis of multilayered plates embedding piezomagnetic and piezoelectric layers by considering both sensor and actuator configurations.The 3D governing equations for the magneto-electro-elastic static behavior of plates are explicitly show that are made by the three 3D equilibrium equations,the 3D divergence equation for magnetic induction,and the 3D divergence equation for the electric displacement.The proposed solution involves the exponential matrix in the thickness direction and primary variables’harmonic forms in the in-plane ones.A closed-form solution is performed considering simply-supported boundary conditions.Interlaminar continuity conditions are imposed for displacements,magnetic potential,electric potential,transverse shear/normal stresses,transverse normal magnetic induction and transverse normal electric displacement.Therefore,a layerwise approach is adopted.The results section is composed of an assessment part,where the present model is compared to past 3D electro-elastic or magneto-elastic formulations and a new benchmark part.Benchmarks consider sensor and actuator plate configurations for the fully coupled magneto-electro-elastic cases for different thickness ratios.Tabular and graphical results are presented for displacements,stresses,magnetic potential,electric potential,transverse normal magnetic induction and transverse normal electric displacement.For each presented benchmark,magneto-electro-elastic coupling and thickness and material layer effects are discussed in depth.
