    (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.

    (Elsevier Ltd, 2018) Kiran, M.C.; Kattimani, S.; Mahesh, M.
    This article presents a finite element (FE) formulation to assess the influence of porosity on the static responses and free vibration of functionally graded skew magneto-electro-elastic (FGSMEE) plate. The porosity is accounted for local density using modified power law. The skew edges of the plate are achieved by implementing transformation matrix. The coupled constitutive relations establish the different couplings associated with MEE materials. The displacements, potentials, and stresses for the porous skew plate are established through static analysis. The influence of porosity on the natural frequency of the skew plate is investigated via free vibration analysis. The influence of different porosity distributions on various skew angles of the FGSMEE plate has been studied. The effect of porosity volume, skew angle, and geometrical parameters such as aspect ratio, thickness ratio, and boundary conditions on the porous FGSMEE plate is investigated. © 2018 Elsevier Ltd

    Buckling analysis of skew magneto-electro-elastic plates under in-plane loading
    (SAGE Publications Ltd info@sagepub.co.uk, 2018) Kiran, M.C.; Kattimani, S.
    This article deals with the study of buckling behaviour of multilayered skew magneto-electro-elastic plate under uniaxial and biaxial in-plane loadings. The skew edges of the skew magneto-electro-elastic plate are obtained by transforming the local skew coordinate to the global using a transformation matrix. The displacement fields corresponding to the first-order shear deformation theory along with constitutive equations of magneto-electro-elastic materials are used to develop a finite element model. The finite element model encompasses the coupling between electric, magnetic and elastic fields. The in-plane stress distribution within the skew magneto-electro-elastic plate due to the enacted force is considered to be equivalent to the applied in-plane compressive loads in the pre-buckling range. This stress distribution is used to derive the potential energy functional of the skew magneto-electro-elastic plate. The non-dimensional critical buckling load is attained from the solution of the allied linear eigenvalue problem. Influence of skew angle, stacking sequence, span-to-thickness ratio, aspect ratio and boundary condition on the critical buckling load and their corresponding mode shapes is investigated. © 2018, © The Author(s) 2018.

    Vibration control of multiferroic fibrous composite plates using active constrained layer damping
    (Academic Press, 2018) Kattimani, S.; Ray, M.C.
    Geometrically nonlinear vibration control of fiber reinforced magneto-electro-elastic or multiferroic fibrous composite plates using active constrained layer damping treatment has been investigated. The piezoelectric (BaTiO3) fibers are embedded in the magnetostrictive (CoFe2O4) matrix forming magneto-electro-elastic or multiferroic smart composite. A three-dimensional finite element model of such fiber reinforced magneto-electro-elastic plates integrated with the active constrained layer damping patches is developed. Influence of electro-elastic, magneto-elastic and electromagnetic coupled fields on the vibration has been studied. The Golla–Hughes–McTavish method in time domain is employed for modeling a constrained viscoelastic layer of the active constrained layer damping treatment. The von Kármán type nonlinear strain-displacement relations are incorporated for developing a three-dimensional finite element model. Effect of fiber volume fraction, fiber orientation and boundary conditions on the control of geometrically nonlinear vibration of the fiber reinforced magneto-electro-elastic plates is investigated. The performance of the active constrained layer damping treatment due to the variation of piezoelectric fiber orientation angle in the 1–3 Piezoelectric constraining layer of the active constrained layer damping treatment has also been emphasized. © 2018 Elsevier Ltd

    Coupled evaluation of the free vibration characteristics of magneto-electro-elastic skew plates in hygrothermal environment
    (Techno-Press, 2019) Mahesh, V.; Kattimani, S.; Harursampath, D.; Nguyen, N.-T.
    The present article addresses the coupled free vibration problem of skew magneto-electro-elastic plates (SMEE) considering the temperature-moisture dependent material properties. The plate kinematics follows Reddy?s higher order shear deformation theory. With the aid of finite element methods, the governing equations of motion are derived considering the Hamilton?s principle and solved by adopting condensation technique. The influence of different temperature and moisture dependent empirical constants on the frequency response of SMEE plate has been assessed. In addition, the natural frequencies corresponding to various fields are evaluated and the effect of empirical constants on these coupled frequencies is determined. A detailed parametric study has been carried out to assess the individual effects of temperature and moisture dependent empirical constants along with their combined effect, aspect ratio, length-to-width ratio, stacking sequence and boundary conditions. The results reveal that the external environment as well as the geometrical skewness has a significant influence on the stiffness of the SMEE plates. © 2019 Techno-Press, Ltd.

    Finite element simulation of controlled frequency response of skew multiphase magneto-electro-elastic plates
    (SAGE Publications Ltd info@sagepub.co.uk, 2019) Mahesh, M.; Kattimani, S.
    The linear frequency response of skew multiphase magneto-electro-elastic composite plate embedded with active constrained layer damping treatment has been studied. The volume fraction of piezoelectric fibres embedded in the piezomagnetic matrix significantly affects the coupling characteristic of this multiferroic material, and hence, the frequency of the skew multiphase magneto-electro-elastic plate is drastically altered. This study emphasizes on evaluating the influence of different volume fraction of barium titanate (BaTiO3) and cobalt ferrite (CoFe2O4) on the frequency characteristics of skew multiphase magneto-electro-elastic. In this regard, a finite element formulation has been proposed to assess the damped response of such skew multiphase magneto-electro-elastic plates. Incorporating the complex modulus approach, the constrained viscoelastic layer of the active constrained layer damping patch is modelled. In addition, the effect of geometrical skewness has also been investigated. Meanwhile, an exhaustive parametric study is carried out to analyse the influence of control gain, patch position and fibre orientation angle of piezoelectric composite. © The Author(s) 2019.

    (China Ordnance Industry Corporation, 2021) Mahesh, M.; Harursampath, D.; Kattimani, S.
    This article deals with evaluating the frequency response of functionally graded carbon nanotube reinforced magneto-electro-elastic (FG-CNTMEE) plates subjected to open and closed electro-magnetic circuit conditions. In this regard finite element formulation has been derived. The plate kinematics adjudged via higher order shear deformation theory (HSDT) is considered for evaluation. The equations of motion are obtained with the help of Hamilton's principle and solved using condensation technique. It is found that the convergence and accuracy of the present FE formulation is very good to address the vibration problem of FG-CNTMEE plate. For the first time, frequency response analysis of FG-CNTMEE plates considering the effect of various circuit conditions associated with parameters such as CNT distributions, volume fraction, skew angle, aspect ratio, length-to-thickness ratio and coupling fields has been carried out. The results of this article can serve as benchmark for future development and analysis of smart structures. © 2020 The Authors

    Nonlinear free vibration and transient responses of porous functionally graded magneto-electro-elastic plates
    (Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2022) Sh, E.L.; Kattimani, S.; Mahesh, M.
    The geometrically nonlinear free vibration and transient response of porous functionally graded magneto-electro-elastic (PFG-MEE) plates are studied based on the first-order shear deformation (FSDT) theory, von Karman's nonlinear strain–displacement relations along with modified power law. With Hamilton's theory, the coupled equations of motion are obtained and analyzed by adapting finite element methods (FEM). Moreover, using Newmark's, Picard's, and Newton–Raphson methods, a porous FG-MEE plate's nonlinear and transient response is analyzed using MATLAB software. After validating the present study, the influence of porosity distribution, porosity index, boundary conditions, aspect ratios, and thickness to length ratios on the nonlinear frequency ratio and nonlinear transient response of porous FG-MEE plate is investigated. It is revealed that geometric parameters, porosity index, boundary conditions, and form of porosity distribution significantly influence the nonlinear frequency ratio and nonlinear transient deflections of porous FG-MEE plates. © 2021, Wroclaw University of Science and Technology.

    Effect of porosity on active damping of geometrically nonlinear vibrations of a functionally graded magneto-electro-elastic plate
    (China Ordnance Industry Corporation, 2022) Esayas, L.S.; Kattimani, S.
    This paper investigates the effect of porosity on active damping of geometrically nonlinear vibrations (GNLV) of the magneto-electro-elastic (MEE) functionally graded (FG) plates incorporated with active treatment constricted layer damping (ATCLD) patches. The perpendicularly/slanted reinforced 1–3 piezoelectric composite (1–3 PZC) constricting layer. The constricted viscoelastic layer of the ATCLD is modeled in the time-domain using Golla-Hughes-McTavish (GHM) technique. Different types of porosity distribution in the porous magneto-electro-elastic functionally graded PMEE-FG plate graded in the thickness direction. Considering the coupling effects among elasticity, electrical, and magnetic fields, a three-dimensional finite element (FE) model for the smart PMEE-FG plate is obtained by incorporating the theory of layer-wise shear deformation. The geometric nonlinearity adopts the von Kármán principle. The study presents the effects of a variant of a power-law index, porosity index, the material gradation, three types of porosity distribution, boundary conditions, and the piezoelectric fiber's orientation angle on the control of GNLV of the PMEE-FG plates. The results reveal that the FG substrate layers' porosity significantly impacts the nonlinear behavior and damping performance of the PMEE-FG plates. © 2021 China Ordnance Society

    Static, buckling, and free vibration characteristics of porous skew partially functionally graded magneto-electro-elastic plate
    (Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2023) Kiran, K.; Wang, W.; Fang, C.; Kattimani, S.
    In this article, a new mathematical model to develop porous skew partially functionally graded (SPFG) magneto-electro-elastic (MEE) plate from a stepped functionally grade (SFG) plate is proposed. The combination of Barium Titanate (BaTiO3) and Cobalt Ferrite (CoFe2O4) is graded stepwise to achieve SFG plates. Such, SFG plate is approximated using modified power law for functional variation through its thickness. Modified first-order shear deformation theory (FSDT) is deployed in the current study to develop mathematical models. The geometrical modification from rectangular to skew plate is achieved using transformation matrix. Porosity in the partial functionally graded MEE plate is taken as local density. Free vibration study is carried out to reflect the influence of partial gradation, porosity distribution, porosity volume, and skew angle on the natural frequency of porous SPFG MEE plate. The influence of various types of porosity distribution, partial gradation, and skew angle on the primary quantities such as displacements, potentials, and secondary quantities such as stresses, electric displacement, and magnetic induction on SPFG MEE plate is studied. The stability characteristics of the SPFG MEE plate are also investigated to study the buckling behavior under various porosity distributions, partial gradation, and skew angles. The effect of change in aspect ratio, and thickness ratio on the free vibration and static behavior is also investigated. © 2021 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
