Kattimani, Subhas ChandraRay, M.C.2020-03-312020-03-312018Mechanical Systems and Signal Processing, 2018, Vol.106, , pp.334-35410.1016/j.ymssp.2017.12.039https://idr.nitk.ac.in/jspui/handle/123456789/13529Geometrically 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 K�rm�n 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 LtdArticle
