Interplay of photonic, electrical, and inertial loads on the stability of rotating sector perovskite sandwich plates with a GPL-based nanocomposite core

Abstract

The bifurcation stability of sandwich sector plates, primarily constructed from lead halide perovskite skins known for their significant photostrictive and electrostrictive properties, is explored. These properties render them highly relevant for multiphysics applications. The influence of a photo-induced thermal environment on the behavior of these plates is also examined. A notable challenge, the inherent stiffness of these structures, is addressed by integrating a nanocomposite laminated core composed of a polymer matrix and graphene platelet (GPL) reinforcers. The GPLs are distributed throughout the core layers according to functionally graded models, significantly enhancing structural integrity. To effectively model the core environment, the Halpin-Tsai micromechanical rule is employed. The structural displacement field is modeled using the first-order shear deformation theory. Moreover, the von-Kármán geometrically nonlinear strain-displacement relations are applied. The constitutive relationships are governed by the theory of linear photo-thermo-electro-elasticity, providing a framework for the analysis of perovskite-based structures. The reorganization of bifurcation points from the pre-buckling route and the linearization of stability equations are performed using the adjacent-equilibrium criterion. The generalized differential quadrature (GDQ) method is utilized to solve the equilibrium equations of pre-buckling and the stability equations of buckling. This comprehensive investigation reveals the critical influence of photonic, electrical, and rotational stimuli on the stability characteristics of advanced perovskite-based sandwich sector plates, demonstrating potential advancements in multiphysics applications.
