TL;DR: In this paper, a simulation of vibration suppression of a laminated composite beam embedded with actuators of a giant magnetostrictive material subjected to control magnetic fields is presented, and the results show that this proposed approach is efficient not only in a linear zone but also in nonlinear zones (dead zone and saturation zone) in vibration suppression.
Abstract: This paper presents a simulation of vibration suppression of a laminated composite beam embedded with actuators of a giant magnetostrictive material subjected to control magnetic fields. It has been found that the strains generated in the material are not only significantly larger than ones created by many other smart materials but also exhibit some inherent nonlinearities. To utilize the full potential of these materials in active vibration control, these nonlinearities should be characterized in the control system as accurately as possible. In this simulation of nonlinear dynamic controls, the control law with negative velocity feedback and the analytical nonlinear constitutive model of the magnetostrictive layer are employed. The numerical results show that this proposed approach is efficient not only in a linear zone but also in nonlinear zones (dead zone and saturation zone) of magnetostrictive curves in vibration suppression. Compared with those from the control system based on the linear constitutive relations of the material, it is found that the simulation results based on the linear model are efficient only when the magnetostrictive relations are located in the linear zone. Once the system has some departure from the linear zone, however, the results from the linear model become unacceptable. Finally, the effect of material properties, lamination schemes and location of the magnetostrictive layers on vibration suppression of the practical system is evaluated.

TL;DR: In this article, a regular variational boundary element formulation for dynamic analysis of two-dimensional magneto-electro-elastic domains is presented, where the domain variables are approximated by using a superposition of weighted regular fundamental solutions of the static magnetoelectroelastic problem and the boundary variables are expressed in terms of nodal values.
Abstract: In this paper a regular variational boundary element formulation for dynamic analysis of two-dimensional magneto-electro-elastic domains is presented. The method is based on a hybrid variational principle expressed in terms of generalized magneto-electro-elastic variables. The domain variables are approximated by using a superposition of weighted regular fundamental solutions of the static magneto-electro-elastic problem, whereas the boundary variables are expressed in terms of nodal values. The variational principle coupled with the proposed discretization scheme leads to the calculation of frequency-independent and symmetric generalized stiffness and mass matrices. The generalized stiffness matrix is computed in terms of boundary integrals of regular kernels only. On the other hand, to achieve meaningful computational advantages, the domain integral defining the generalized mass matrix is reduced to the boundary through the use of the dual reciprocity method, although this implies the loss of symmetry. A purely boundary model is then obtained for the computation of the structural operators. The model can be directly used into standard assembly procedures for the analysis of non-homogeneous and layered structures. Additionally, the proposed approach presents some features that place it in the framework of the weak form meshless methods. Indeed, only a set of scattered points is actually needed for the variable interpolation, while a global background boundary mesh is only used for the integration of the influence coefficients. The results obtained show good agreement with those available in the literature proving the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

TL;DR: In this article, the vibration study of a simply supported smart sandwich plate embedded in an elastic substrate medium is presented in hygrothermal environment, and the effects of temperature rise, degree of moisture concentration, elastic foundations parameters, thickness ratio, aspect ratio and thickness ratio of magnetostrictive layer to viscoelastic layer, modes, lamination schemes, magnitude of the feedback coefficient, position of the magnetstrictive layers and visco-elastic structural damping coefficient on controlled motion and vibration characteristics of plate.
Abstract: In hygrothermal environment, vibration study of a simply supported smart sandwich plate embedded in an elastic substrate medium is presented in the present article. The sandwich plate contains layers of fiber-reinforced and magnetostrictive materials and core of viscoelastic material. The kinematic equations system is derived via employing Hamilton's principle with considering the transverse shear strains with and without the normal strains effect. Various numerical examples are carried out to study the effects of temperature rise, degree of moisture concentration, elastic foundations parameters, thickness ratio, aspect ratio, thickness ratio of magnetostrictive layer to viscoelastic layer, modes, lamination schemes, magnitude of the feedback coefficient, position of the magnetostrictive layers and viscoelastic structural damping coefficient on controlled motion and vibration characteristics of plate. Some observation about influences of the temperature and humidity concentrations on vibration characteristics of studied plate are presented in detail. The outcomes indicate that the hygrothermal environments have negative effects on vibration suppression of advanced composite structures especially the uniform hygrothermal distribution. The frequencies increase with increasing the viscoelastic structural damping coefficient and the foundation constants.

TL;DR: In this paper, the dependence of coupling coefficient (k) and elastic moduli (EH and EB) on particle size and volume fraction of Terfenol powder in polymer-bonded composites has been investigated.
Abstract: The dependence of coupling coefficient (k) and elastic moduli (EH and EB) on particle size and volume fraction of Terfenol powder in polymer-bonded composites has been investigated. Materials were prepared with powder in five size ranges between 106 and 710 μm and in three volume fractions (VF). The moduli show a ΔE effect, which is negative for small bias fields and positive for larger fields. EH is found to be independent of particle size and to vary with VF in agreement with model predictions. The maximum value of k, for each sample, is found to be independent of both particle size and VF and a simple model is presented which predicts this behavior and indicates that the low values of kmax arise mainly from the low modulus of the epoxy binder.
