Abstract
This study presents an original and novel investigation into the mechanics of piezo-flexo-magneto-elastic nanocomposite doubly-curved shells (PFMDCSs) and the ability to detect the lower and higher levels of electro-magnetic fields. In this context, by utilizing the first-order shear deformation shell model, stresses and strains are acquired. By imposing Hamilton's principle and the von Kármán approach, the governing equations have been obtained. The intelligent shell model consists of size-dependent influences, viz., strain gradients. This will take place via Mindlin's strain gradient elasticity theory and the subsequent re-establishing of the mathematical framework by incorporating this concept. The strain gradient results in a flexoelectric/flexomagnetic effect. The converse effect of the magnetic field on the basis of a close circuit has been assumed. The developed bending equations have been transferred into the algebraic ones by substituting an analytical technique based on homogeneous immovable simple support for the four edges. The problem has been solved according to the Newton-Raphson iteration scheme, and transverse deflections have been computed. For researching the rightness and precision of the shell models together with the solution process, a comparison is prepared by the finite element method (FEM) results for simplified shells, and a good correlation has been observed. At last, by examining several factors governing the problem, the conditions under which the magnetic effects can be noticeable and dominant in doubly-curved shells have been sought. This study could serve as a benchmark reference for piezoceramic-DCSs, as the presented governing equations are original. The most interesting outcome of this research is that the electro-magnetic response of intelligent structures can be entirely geometry-dependent.
