A higher order beam finite element for bending and vibration problems

TL;DR: In this paper, the finite element equations for a variationally consistent higher-order beam theory are presented for the static and dynamic behavior of rectangular beams, which correctly accounts for the stress-free conditions on the upper and lower surfaces of the beam while retaining the parabolic shear strain distribution.
Journal ArticleDOI

Free vibrations of simply supported and multilayered magneto-electro-elastic plates

TL;DR: In this paper, the dispersion equation that characterizes the relationship between the natural frequency and the wavenumber can be obtained in a simple form for multilayered rectangular plates, and the present solution includes all previous solutions, such as piezoelectric, piezomagnetic and purely elastic solutions as special cases.
Journal ArticleDOI

Layerwise mechanics and finite element for the dynamic analysis of piezoelectric composite plates

TL;DR: In this paper, the analysis of laminated composite plate structures with piezoelectric actuators and sensors is presented, where the authors implement layerwise representations of displacements and electric potential, and can model both the global and local electromechanical response of smart composite laminates.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mechanics and Computational Models for Laminated Piezoelectric Beams, Plates, and Shells

TL;DR: A considerable number of laminate theories, analytical approaches, numerical solutions and computational models have been reported for the analysis of laminates and structures with piezoelectric actuators or sensors as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

Free vibration response of two-dimensional magneto-electro-elastic laminated plates

TL;DR: In this article, an approximate solution for the free vibration problem of two-dimensional magneto-electro-elastic laminates is presented to determine their fundamental behavior, which is composed of linear homogeneous elastic, piezoelectric, or magnetostrictive layers with perfect bonding between each interface.
