Abstract
This paper proposes to use the nodal shell element in a finite-element multiphysics formulation to simulate the magnetoelectric (ME) laminate composites constituted of the thin magnetostrictive layers. The multiphysics model considers the nonlinearity of the thin-layer magnetostrictive material as well as the electrical load effects of the ME laminate composites. A trilayer ME Metglas/PZT/Metglas problem is solved in order to prove the efficiency of the proposed method. This paper provides the basis to study the ME devices composed of laminated thin layers.
