Item 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 LtdItem Influence of coupled fields on free vibration and static behavior of functionally graded magneto-electro-thermo-elastic plate(SAGE Publications Ltd info@sagepub.co.uk, 2018) Mahesh, M.; Sagar, P.J.; Kattimani, S.In this article, the influence of full coupling between thermal, elastic, magnetic, and electric fields on the natural frequency of functionally graded magneto-electro-thermo-elastic plates has been investigated using finite element methods. The contribution of overall coupling effect as well as individual elastic, piezoelectric, piezomagnetic, and thermal phases toward the stiffness of magneto-electro-thermo-elastic plates is evaluated. A finite element formulation is derived using Hamilton’s principle and coupled constitutive equations of magneto-electro-thermo-elastic material. Based on the first-order shear deformation theory, kinematics relations are established and the corresponding finite element model is developed. Furthermore, the static studies of magneto-electro-elastic plate have been carried out by reducing the fully coupled finite element formulation to partially coupled state. Particular attention has been paid to investigate the influence of thermal fields, electric fields, and magnetic fields on the behavior of magneto-electro-elastic plate. In addition, the effect of pyrocoupling on the magneto-electro-elastic plate has also been studied. Furthermore, the effect of geometrical parameters such as aspect ratio, length-to-thickness ratio, stacking sequence, and boundary conditions is studied in detail. The investigation may contribute significantly in enhancing the performance and applicability of functionally graded magneto-electro-thermo-elastic structures in the field of sensors and actuators. © 2017, © The Author(s) 2017.Item Porosity influence on structural behaviour of skew functionally graded magneto-electro-elastic plate(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 LtdItem 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.Item 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.Item 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.Item On vibration analysis of functionally graded carbon nanotube reinforced magneto-electro-elastic plates with different electro-magnetic conditions using higher order finite element methods(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 AuthorsItem Neural network-based prediction model to investigate the influence of temperature and moisture on vibration characteristics of skew laminated composite sandwich plates(MDPI AG, 2021) Kallannavar, V.; Kattimani, S.; Soudagar, M.E.M.; Abbas, M.A.; Alshahrani, S.; Imran, M.The present study deals with the development of a prediction model to investigate the impact of temperature and moisture on the vibration response of a skew laminated composite sandwich (LCS) plate using the artificial neural network (ANN) technique. Firstly, a finite element model is generated to incorporate the hygro-elastic and thermo-elastic characteristics of the LCS plate using first-order shear deformation theory (FSDT). Graphite-epoxy composite laminates are used as the face sheets, and DYAD606 viscoelastic material is used as the core material. Non-linear strain-displacement relations are used to generate the initial stiffness matrix in order to represent the stiffness generated from the uniformly varying temperature and moisture concentrations. The mechanical stiffness matrix is derived using linear strain-displacement associations. Then the results obtained from the numerical model are used to train the ANN. About 11,520 data points were collected from the numerical analysis and were used to train the network using the Levenberg– Marquardt algorithm. The developed ANN model is used to study the influence of various process parameters on the frequency response of the system, and the outcomes are compared with the results obtained from the numerical model. Several numerical examples are presented and conferred to comprehend the influence of temperature and moisture on the LCS plates. © 2021 by the authors.

For such investigation, a skew laminated composite sandwich plate with carbon nanotube-reinforced composite core is considered. The nonlinear strain-displacement relations are employed to generate the initial-stress stiffness matrix and the mechanical stiffness matrices using linear strain-displacement relations. The negative velocity feedback control-law is used to control the first few modes of the vibrating sandwich plate. Comprehensive investigation has been carried out to understand influence of geometric and material parameters on the damping performance of the system. © 2021 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.Item Frequency response analysis of edge-cracked magneto-electro-elastic functionally graded plates using extended finite element method(Elsevier B.V., 2022) Sh, E.L.; Kattimani, S.; Thoi Trung, N.This paper studies the frequency response of edge-cracked magneto-electro elastic functionally graded (ECMEE-FG) plates using the extended finite element method (XFEM). First-order shear deformation theory (FSDT), von Karman's nonlinear strain-displacement equations, and a modified power-law are used to develop the numerical model. The coupled equations are derived and analyzed using Hamilton's principle and extended finite element methods. The influence of B-rich bottom and F-rich bottom material gradation, crack orientation, crack length, and aspect ratio on the geometrically nonlinear frequency response was investigated after the current study was validated. Furthermore, crack propagation behavior in the ECMEE-FG plate was examined. The results could be helpful for the design of functionally graded magneto electro elastic structures and devices. © 2022 Elsevier Ltd
