Abstract

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.
