This study aims to control the vibrational behavior of an auxetic plate coated with magnetostrictive material. The kinematic relations of the plate, rested on a Winkler–Pasternak medium, are expressed based on the first-order shear deformation theory (FSDT). The governing equations are derived by employing the Hamilton's principle and solved analytically by applying the Navier's method. The effects of various parameters such as auxetic inclination angle, auxetic rib length, and feedback gain, on the control behavior of the system are monitored in detail. In order to exhibit the accuracy and validity of this study, our results are compared to those available in the literature. The results indicate that adding auxetic core to magnetostrictive plate results in increasing dimensionless natural frequency. The results obtained from this study can potentially contribute to the advancement of various applications such as the design and improvement of sensors, actuators, and vibration cancellation systems. Additionally, the obtained results could serve as a foundational basis for subsequent investigations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

It is clear that there is a relationship between time and space in nanostructures that are always attacked by waves with wavelengths within the intrinsic characteristic length of the nanostructure. Also, the viscoelastic behavior of nanostructures is affected by this relationship between nonlocal time and nonlocal space. It is worth noting that the conventional tempo-spatially decoupled nonlocal viscoelasticity does not give accurate results regarding the viscoelastic response of these structures. Hence, herein and for the first time, a novel fractional nonlocal time–space strain gradient viscoelasticity is implemented to be able to give a correct answer in addressing the dispersion of elastic waves inside functionally graded material (FGM) viscoelastic nanoplates. The constructive equations of this theory are based on the theory of nonlocal strain gradient elasticity. The properties of the FGM studied in this research are obtained by the power-law model, and the kinematic relations are extracted based on the refined higher-order plate theory. Subsequently, motion equations are written using Hamilton's principle and solved analytically. The results of this work reveal that an increase in the nonlocal parameter can reduce the loss factor in a remarkable way due to the coupling between the nonlocalities in the spatial and temporal domains.

There is a correlation between nonlocal time and space in the nanostructures which are attacked by waves whose length lies in the range of the nanostructure's intrinsic characteristic lengths. This temporal–spatial coupling affects the viscoelastic behaviors of the nanostructures. In such a case, the conventional tempo-spatially decoupled nonlocal viscoelasticity is not able to provide accurate dynamic responses. To resolve this problem, the present paper focuses on the development of a novel fractional nonlocal time–space strain gradient viscoelasticity and shows its application in the wave propagation analysis of functionally graded material (FGM) nanobeams. The fractional constitutive equations are derived on the basis of the combination of the well-known nonlocal strain gradient elasticity and fractional nonlocal time–space hypotheses. The motion equations of the beam-type elements are presented on the basis of the refined higher-order beam theory and Hamilton's principle. With this newly developed nonlocal theory, the governing equations of the nanobeam are extracted. Afterward, an analytical wave solution will be utilized to achieve the loss factor of the problem. The results of this work reveal that an increase in the nonlocal parameter can reduce the loss factor in a remarkable way due to the coupling between the nonlocalities in the spatial and temporal domains.

This research is concerned with the analysis of wave propagation of multi-scale hybrid composite beams subjected to various types of thermal loading. Carbon fiber (CF) and carbon nanotube (CNT) are assumed as reinforcements that are distributed in the matrix. The homogenization process is performed exerting the Halpin–Tsai model and the rule of mixture. Different types of temperature rise, namely, uniform, linear and sinusoidal temperature rise are presumed to present a more trustworthy thermal analysis. The beam is rested on Winkler–Pasternak foundation. A refined trigonometric shear deformable beam theory is used to compute the kinetic relations without any external shear correction coefficient. Governing equations are derived implementing Hamilton's principle and then solved analytically. Eventually, the effects of different parameters, such as CNT's weight fraction, the volume fraction of CF, elastic foundation, different types of temperature rise, etc., on wave frequency and phase velocity. are provided numerically in the framework of a set of illustrations.

The current investigation examines the vibrational properties of porous truncated conical structures made from a composite material consisting of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) reinforced with Terfenol-D particles. The effective properties of the magneto-electro-elastic composite were determined using the Eshelby–Mori–Tanaka model. The governing equation of the system is obtained by applying the principles of minimal potential energy and Hamilton's principle to the first-order shear deformation theory. The equations are solved utilizing the generalized differential quadrature technique. This study aims to examine the interconnections among the volume percentage, vertex angle, shell length, boundary conditions, and porosity of Terfenol-D. Moreover, to validate the results, a comprehensive analysis was performed by comparing them with the existing body of literature, resulting in a favorable and accurate agreement. The results demonstrate a consistent decrease in the linear natural frequency as the vertex angle gradually increases. The findings derived from this study have the potential to serve as a reference point for future analyses. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This is the first research on the smart control and frequency analysis of a cylindrical sandwich nanoshell in the framework of the numerical-based generalized differential quadrature method (2D-GDQM). The current sandwich smart nanostructure is made of a honeycomb core and piezoelectric face sheets as sensor and actuator (PFSA). For modeling the size-dependent nanoshell, nonlocal stress-strain gradient theory (NSGT) is presented. Also, this nanostructure is under conveying viscous fluid, and the related force is calculated by the modified formulation of Navier–Stokes. Also, the current structure rotates around its axial direction. The stresses and strains are obtained using the higher-order shear deformation theory (HSDT). The external voltage is applied to the sensor layer, and a Proportional-Derivative (PD) controller is used for sensor output control. Governing equations and boundary conditions of the cylindrical sandwich nanoshell are obtained by implementing Hamilton's principle. The results show that the geometry of honeycomb core, PD controller, velocity of fluid flow, length to radius ratio (L/R), and applied voltage and have a significant influence on the frequency characteristics of a cylindrical sandwich nanoshell. Another important consequence is that applying the PD controller leads to an increase in the critical velocity of fluid flow in the smart nanostructure. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, nonlinear vibrational behaviors of doubly-curved functionally graded piezoelectric (FGP) microshells in thermal environments have been studied. The doubly-curved microshell has been modeled by using modified couple stress and thin shell theories. The microshell has two material constituents which are piezoelectric materials and their gradation is described using power-law functions. Temperature fields are considered to be uniform, linear, and nonlinear. A closed-form of nonlinear vibration frequency has been obtained by analytically solving the governing equations using the Harmonic balance method. It will be demonstrated that nonlinear vibrational frequency of doubly-curved microshell relies on couple stress influence, material gradation, curvature radius, center deflection, and electrical field.

Negative Poisson's ratio (NPR) auxetic metamaterials are attracting significant attention because of their peculiar and interesting mechanical features. Using geometrically von-Karman nonlinear factors and Mindlin plate theory, a smart multiscale hybrid (GPL/CF/PVDF) sandwich plate with a unique two-type functionally graded graphene origami auxetic (FG-GOA) is investigated here for its nonlinear vibrational behavior. The present properties of the electro-elastic layers were established using the Halpin–Tsai (HT) model and rule of mixing (ROM). Hamilton's principle, Maxwell's law, and the nonlinear factors of von Karman are used to determine the governing equations for the piezo plate. The subsequent step is to use the generalized differential quadrature (GDQ) technique to discretize the equations of motion for the sandwich plate. Results show that smart FG-GOA plates exhibit hardening nonlinearity. Nonlinear ratios of frequencies and natural frequency of the intelligent plate are also measured by electric voltage, the weight fraction of GPL, and the volume fraction of carbon fibers. Furthermore, the effect of the porosity coefficient, GOri folding degree, the FG-GOA core height, and the smart hybrid nanocomposite (SHNC) layer's height on frequency ratio and nonlinear natural frequency were calculated and displayed for each figure.
