Abstract The rigid finite element method (RFEM) has been used mainly for modelling systems with beam-like links. This paper deals with modelling of a single set of electrodes consisting of an upper beam with electrodes, which are shells with complicated shapes, and an anvil beam. Discretisation of the whole system, both the beams and the electrodes, is carried out by means of the rigid finite element method. The results of calculations concerned with free vibrations of the plates are compared with those obtained from a commercial package of the finite element method (FEM), while forced vibrations of the set of electrodes are compared with those obtained by means of the hybrid finite element method (HFEM) and experimental measurements obtained on a special test stand.

Frequencies and modes of free vibrations of an isotropic thin pentagonal plate of regular shape with various configurations of rigid attachment at the edges are determined using the finite element method (FEM). The results obtained for some pentagonal plates are compared with the results obtained for square plates of an equivalent mass with corresponding boundary conditions. We present the vibration modes of the studied plates and the topology of the vibration modes for some of the considered plates corresponding to the square plates with free edges and rigidly fixed edges. The reliability of the obtained results is ensured by the use of a substantiated mathematical model, the correct formulation of the problem and the practical convergence of the calculated frequencies when using the FEM.

Magneto-electro-elastic (MEE) materials are widely used in intelligent structure systems owing to their electronic, mechanical and magnetic coupling effects. To overcome the over-stiffness of the finite element method (FEM) stiffness matrix and simulate the free vibration of MEE structures more accurately, we introduced the gradient smoothing technique into MEE multi-physical-field FE model and thereby deduced the cell-based smoothed finite element method (CS-FEM) equations of MEE materials. The MEE beams and layered beam affected by the coupling effect of multiple physical fields under different boundary conditions were computed by CS-FEM, after comparing results with those of FEM and reference solutions, the accuracy and efficiency of CS-FEM were validated.
