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 An exact solution for vibro-acoustic response of smart sandwich panels with MEE composite Layer(Elsevier Ltd, 2022) Arunkumar, M.P.; Bhagat, V.S.; Geng, Q.; Li, Y.; Jeyaraj, J.To the best of our knowledge, this is the first endeavor to provide an exact solution for a vibro-acoustic response of Magneto-electro-elastic (MEE) composite plate and sandwich panels with MEE facings. The governing equation of motion is developed using Hamilton's principle considering the third-order shear deformation theory to account for transverse shear. Based on boundary conditions and the Maxwell equation, the variation of electric and magnetic potentials are adopted along the thickness of the MEE composite layer. Analysis of the vibro-acoustic response of sandwich panels which are extensively used in aerospace structures such as cellular, trapezoidal, triangular, and honeycomb are presented. Influences of electric and magnetic potential on the vibro-acoustic response are also presented for the different types of truss core and honeycomb core sandwich panels. © 2022Item An exact solution for vibro-acoustic response of MEE composite plate(Elsevier Ltd, 2022) Arunkumar, M.P.; Bhagat, V.S.; Swetha, S.; Geng, Q.; Jeyaraj, J.; Li, Y.To the best of our knowledge, this is the first endeavor to present an exact solution to predict vibro-acoustic characteristics of Magneto-electro-elastic (MEE) composite plate. The transverse and in-plane fields are considered based on thin-plate conditions. The variation of electric and magnetic potentials is determined according to electromagnetic boundary conditions and the Maxwell equation. The stress resultants and mass inertias are used in Hamilton's principle to generate the governing equation. Here the mathematical formulation is developed using third-order shear deformation theory. Also in this work, the dynamic displacement responses are provided by finding five undetermined mode coefficients relevant to u, v, w, ϕx, and ϕy to predict forced vibration response. The forced vibration response obtained based on the developed governing equation is used to calculate the acoustic characteristics using the Rayleigh integral. The effect of magnetic and electric potential is shown in the acoustic responses. From the results, it is understood that the acoustic responses are highly influenced by the applied magnetic and electric potential. The radiation efficiency of the MEE plate did not show any variations in the lower frequency and it shows the variation near the resonant frequencies on the application of electric and magnetic potential. © 2022 Elsevier Ltd
