Abstract:Based on the three dimensional elastic theory of orthotropic magnetoelectroelastic materials and assumption that the mechanical,electric and magnetic properties of the materials vary continuously along the thickness direction and have the same exponential distribution,the state equations of dynamic analysis are derived in terms of displacement components,electric potential,magnetic potential and their first derivatives.A semi analytical numerical method that combines the one dimensional differential quadrature method with the state space method is employed to solve the governing equations.Numerical results are given to demonstrate the accuracy and superiority of the present method.Three dimensional dynamical behavior of functionally graded magnetoelectroelastic circular plates is investigated through examples and the influences of the different functionally graded material properties are analyzed.The results can be a good reference to the design of the magnetoelectroelastic structures.
