In this paper, a three-dimensional static deformation of arbitrary functionally graded multilayered multiferroic composites plates with weakly and highly conducting imperfect interfaces is derived. The magnetoelectroelastic properties of each layer of the composite plates have been assumed varying throughout the thickness direction. The imperfect interfaces between the layers are assumed to be mechanically compliant, dielectrically and magnetically weakly or highly conducting. In each layer, the state-space approach is firstly applied leading to space variable. Cauchy’s problem and adapted Runge-Kutta numerical procedure is used to solve the established state-space equation. The elaborated semi-analytical solution has been propagated throughout the multilayered multiferroic composites plates using the propagator matrix method and accounting the transfers matrices at each imperfect interface. The developed formulas have been programmed and the numerical obtained results have been well compared with available ones. For the computation process, the piezoelectric material [Formula: see text] and piezomagnetic material [Formula: see text] are used. In addition, these numerical tests showed that the proposed solution is in good agreement with the available 3D asymptotic approach, the modified Pagano method, the pseudo-Stroh formalism, the finite elements method and the Peano series solution. Furthermore, the effects of mechanically compliant, dielectrically and magnetically weakly or highly conducting imperfect interface on the static response and the magnetoelectric coupling coefficient of the functionally graded multilayered multiferroic composites plates for various configurations have been also analyzed. It has been carried out that, the bending response and the magnetoelectric coupling coefficient of the multiferroic composites plates remarkably depend on the kind of imperfect interface, the used sequences as well as on the loadings conditions namely mechanical, electric or magnetic, respectively.

This paper is aimed to numerically evaluate the effective thermal conductivity of randomly distributed spherical particle composite with imperfect interface between the constituents. A numerical homogenization technique based on the finite element method (FEM) with representative volume element (RVE) was used to evaluate the effective properties with periodic boundary conditions. Modified random sequential adsorption algorithm (RSA) is applied to generate the three dimensional RVE models of randomly distributed spheres of identical size with the volume fractions up to 50%. Several investigations have been conducted to estimate the influence of the imperfect interfaces on the effective conductivity of particulate composite. Numerical results reveal that for the given composite, due to the existence of an interfacial thermal barrier resistance, the effective thermal conductivity depends not only on the volume fractions of the particle but on the particle size.

This paper presents an analytical study for sound radiation of functionally graded materials (FGM) plate based on the three-dimensional theory of elasticity. The FGM plate is a mixture of metal and ceramic, and its material properties are assumed to have smooth and continuous variation in the thickness direction according to a power-law distribution in terms of volume fractions of the constituents. Based on the three-dimensional theory of elasticity and state space method, the governing equations with variable coefficients of the FGM plate are derived. The sound radiation of the vibration plate is calculated with Rayleigh integral. Comparisons of the present results with those of solutions in the available literature are made and good agreements are achieved. Finally, some parametric studies are carried out to investigate the sound radiation properties of FGM plates.

In this paper, free vibration of functionally graded annular plates on elastic foundations, based on the three-dimensional theory of elasticity, using state-space based differential quadrature method for different boundary conditions is investigated. The foundation is described by the Pasternak or two-parameter model. Assuming the material properties having an exponent-law variation along the thickness, a semi-analytical approach that makes use of state-space method in thickness direction and one-dimensional differential quadrature method in radial direction is used to obtain the vibration frequencies. Supposed state variables in the present method are different from what have been used for functionally graded annular plate so far. They are a combination of three displacement parameters and three stresses parameters. Numerical results are given to demonstrate the convergency and accuracy of the present method. In addition, the influences of the Winkler and shearing layer elastic coefficients of the foundations and some parameters are also investigated.

In this article, a semi-analytical three-dimensional modeling of dynamic behavior of the multilayered magnetoelectroelastic plates under simply supported edges boundary conditions is derived. A combination of pseudo-Stroh formalism and the Lagrange polynomials is elaborated for the space and time response. The time domain is subdivided into small intervals that are discretised using the associated Tchybechev points. The layer-time solution is elaborated in time-dependent matrix form. The propagator matrices are used for the laminated multifunctional plates with an arbitrary number of layers. Extended-traction vectors are obtained for mechanical, electrical, and magnetic excitations. To validate the elaborated numerical procedure, the dynamic behavior of the three layered plates made of piezoelectric material [Formula: see text] and piezomagnetic material [Formula: see text] is investigated. The lower surface of the plate is assumed to be traction free, whereas the upper surface is subjected to a dynamic sinusoidal loading. The obtained results are in good agreement with the available ones based on the Layer wise and the state-space approaches. These results demonstrated that a magnetoelectric coupling coefficient is time-independent but depends strongly on the kind of imperfect interfaces and the taking sequences of the multilayered plates. Furthermore, it is established that the imperfect interfaces have a strong influence on the dynamic behavior of the laminated structures.

This article presents apparently the first application of Meshless local Petrov-Galerkin (MLPG) method for 3-D elasticity analysis of moderately thick rectangular laminated plates. As with other Meshless methods, the problem domain is represented by a set of spread nodes in all three dimensions of the plate without configuration of elements. The Moving Least-Squares (MLS) method is applied to construct the required shape functions. A local asymmetric weak formulation of the problem is developed and MLPG is applied to solve the governing equations. Direct interpolation method is employed to enforce essential boundary conditions. Details of formulation, numerical procedure, convergence and accuracy characteristics of the method are investigated. Results are compared, where possible, with other analytical and numerical methods and show good agreement.
