Abstract

The present paper deals with the magnetoelectroelastic composites containing a doubly periodic array of multicoated fibers under anti-plane shear loads and in-plane electromagnetic loads. By introducing the generalized eigenstrain, the heterogeneous magnetoelectroelastic medium is equivalent to a homogeneous magnetoelectroelastic medium with the periodically distributed generalized eigenstrains. Then the homogeneous magnetoelectroelastic medium with the generalized eigenstrain is solved analytically under the applied load conditions, the generalized stresses and strains in the fibers, coatings and matrix are derived. Based on the average-field theory, the solutions of the generalized stresses and strains are applied to determine the anti-plane effective magnetoelectroelastic properties of the composites. Two-phase (fiber/matrix) and three-phase (fiber/coating/matrix) magnetoelectroelastic composites are examined, and the comparison between the obtained results and the existing results shows the accuracy of the proposed method. Several four-phase magnetoelectroelastic composites with epoxy matrix are studied, and the influences of the composites microstructures on the effective magnetoelectric coefficient are discussed.
