Analysis of Smart Piezo-Magneto-Thermo-Elastic Composite and Reinforced Plates: Part I – Model Development
A comprehensive micromechanical model for the analysis of a smart composite piezo-magneto-thermoelastic thin plate with rapidly-varying thickness is developed in the present paper. A rigorous three-dimensional formulation is used as the basis of multiscale asymptotic homogenization. The asymptotic homogenization model is developed using static equilibrium equations and the quasi-static approximation of Maxwell’s equations. The work culminates in the derivation of a set of differential equations...
