Abstract
In this paper, an inhomogeneous stabilized node-based smoothed radial point interpolation method (ISNS-RPIM) is developed for analyzing functionally graded magneto-electro-elastic (FGMEE) structures in hygrothermal environment. The change of material gradient follows the exponential function distribution. Combining with the gradient smoothing technique (GST) and the coupling constitutive relationship, and considering the hygrothermo-magneto-electro-elastic (HMEE) coupling effects of FGMEE material, the equations for ISNS-RPIM are deduced. The generalized displacement of the FGMEE structures is obtained, and the error in total energy norm, CPU time and efficiency of ISNS-RPIM, NS-RPIM and FEM are researched. Numerical examples are provided to explore the influence of the following parameters in FGMEE structures including exponential factor, hygrothermal loading and empirical constants, and demonstrate the correctness, high effectivity and insensitivity to mesh distortion of ISNS-RPIM. The present method has shown great potential in solving practical complex problems.
