    Investigation of the effect of BaTiO3/CoFe2O4 particle arrangement on the static response of magneto-electro-thermo-elastic plates
    (Elsevier Ltd, 2018) Mahesh, M.; Kattimani, S.
    In this article, a framework based on finite element (FE) methods is proposed for predicting the influence of spatial arrangement of two phase Barium Titanate (BaTiO3) and Cobalt Ferric Oxide (CoFe2O4) particulate composites on the static response of magneto-electro-thermo-elastic (METE) plates. The coupled material properties such as piezoelectric, piezomagnetic, dielectric, magnetic permeability, thermal expansion and pyro co-efficients vary significantly with the spatial arrangement of BaTiO3/CoFe2O4 particulates. The coupled FE governing equations accounting the effect of particle arrangement is presented by incorporating linear coupled constitutive equations of METE composites. Through the condensation technique, the governing equations of METE plates are solved to obtain direct (thermal displacements, electric and magnetic potentials) and derived quantities (stresses, electric displacements and magnetic flux densities). A special attention has been placed on evaluating the pyro-electric and pyro-magnetic coupling effects for different packing arrangement considered namely, Body Centered Cubic (BCC), Face Centered Cubic (FCC) and Simple Cubic (SC) METE particulate composites. Further, parametric studies are carried out to analyse the influence of boundary conditions and aspect ratio. The present study reveals that the multiphysics response of METE plates changes significantly with the packing arrangements of BaTiO3/CoFe2O4 particulates and geometrical parameters. It is believed that the obtained solutions would provide insights into design aspects of METE structures. © 2017 Elsevier Ltd

    Free vibration and static analysis of functionally graded skew magneto-electro-elastic plate
    (Techno-Press, 2018) Kiran, M.C.; Kattimani, S.
    This article presents a finite element (FE) model to assess the free vibration and static response of a functionally graded skew magneto-electro-elastic (FGSMEE) plate. Through the thickness material grading of FGSMEE plate is achieved using power law distribution. The coupled constitutive equations along with the total potential energy approach are used to develop the FE model of FGSMEE plate. The transformation matrix is utilized in bringing out the element matrix corresponding to the global axis to a local axis along the skew edges to specify proper boundary conditions. The effect of skew angle on the natural frequency of an FGSMEE plate is analysed. Further, the study includes the evaluation of the static behavior of FGSMEEplate for various skew angles.The influence of skew angle on the primary quantities such as displacements, electric potential, and magnetic potential, and secondary quantities such as stresses, electric displacement and magnetic induction is studied indetail. In addition, the effect of power-law gradient, thickness ratio, boundary conditions and aspect ratio on the free vibration and static response characteristics of FGSMEE plate has been investigated. © 2018 Techno-Press, Ltd.
