Abstract

Nonlinear bending analysis was performed of magnetoelectroelastic (MEE) composite plates under a mechanical and magnetoelectric (ME) load by using von Karman’s nonlinear geometric equation and the higher order shear deformation theory (HSDT). Nonlinear higher order partial differential equations for MEE plates were derived by using Hamiltonian equilibrium equation. The MEE plate is considered to have clamped boundary condition. The nonlinear high-order equations can turn into algebraic equations through Galerkin method. Then the effects of scale effect of MEE plate (for instance, the aspect ratio) and external load (for instance, mechanical) on the displacement of the considered MEE plate were investigated.
