Abstract
Magnetoelectric (ME) coupling is of interest for a variety of applications, but it is weak in a single-phase material. Strain-coupled laminates are an efficient way to achieve a high ME coupling. In this paper, we first derive an exact solution for a simply supported multilayered anisotropic magneto-electro-elastic plate with interfacial magneto-electro-elasticity. It is expressed in terms of the extended pseudo Stroh formalism along with the propagator matrix method. The interface modulus and stress are considered by constructing an interface matrix. Based on this solution, sandwich plates made of different layups of piezoelectric and piezomagnetic materials are numerically studied. Our results indicate that for the given layup, it is possible to tune the ME coupling by the interface modulus and stress. Considering interface effect is common in nanoplate, this study could provide an extra channel for turning the ME coupling in the layered magneto-electro-elastic plates with possible device applications.
