Abstract—Two micromechanical models for 3D smart composite with embedded periodic or nearly periodic network of generally orthotropic reinforcements and actuators are developed and applied to cubic structures with unidirectional orientation of constituents. Analytical formulas for the effective piezothermoelastic coefficients are derived using the Asymptotic Homogenization Method (AHM). Finite ...

The purpose of this research is to study the reflection transverse waves in the GreenLindsay theory for kind of smart materials under initial stress and relaxation times effect. It is found that, for two dimensional model of thermo-piezoelectric material, there exists four waves namely, quasi-transverse wave (QS-mode), quasi-longitudinal wave (QP-mode), thermal wave ( -mode), and potential elec...

Introduction The wave propagation in magneto-electro-elastic materials has gained considerable importance since last decade. The electro-magneto-elastic materials exhibit a desirable coupling effect between electric and magnetic fields, which are useful in smart structure applications. These materials have the capacity to convert one form of energy namely, magnetic, electric and mechanical ener...

The dispersion analysis in a fluid filled and immersed thermo–electro elastic hollow cylinder composed of homogeneous, transversely isotropic material is studied within the frame work of linear theory of elasticity. The motions of the cylinder are formulated using the constitutive equations of a transversely isotropic piezo–thermo elastic material with a preferred material direction collinear w...
