Electro-magnetic vibration behavior of smart curved micro-/nanoshells

Abstract

This paper investigates dynamic results of a small-scale-dependent panel subjected to a combination of mechanical, electrical, and magnetic loads using the shear defamation theory. Modified couple stress theory (MCST) is used for accounting small-scale effects in small sizes. Governing equations of motion are derived based on Hamilton’s principle in the cylindrical coordinate system. The micro panel is composed of an elastic core integrated with two piezoelectric/piezomagnetic layers at top and bottom. Microlength scale parameter is included in the couple stress tensor and symmetric curvature tensor to capture size dependency. The analytical solution is applied for the solution of the motion equations. The extended parametric results are provided to show natural frequencies in terms of main significant input parameters such as initial electric/magnetic loads, span angle, length to thickness, radius to thickness, and length to radius ratio. Furthermore, the effect of higher mode numbers along the axial and circumferential directions is studied on the responses. The numerical results indicate that the natural frequencies are increased with an increase in initial magnetic potential and a decrease in initial electric potential.
