Transient Piezoelectro-Magneto Thermoelastic Problem of Multi-Layeded Composite Strip Constructed of Piezoelectric and Magnetostrictive Materials

Abstract

This paper is concerned with the theoretical analysis of the transient piezoelectro-magneto thermoelastic problem of multi-layeded composite strip constructed of piezoelectric and magnetostrictive materials due to nonuniform heat supply in the width direction. We obtain the exact solution for the two-dimensional temperature change in a transient state, and transient piezoelectro-magneto thermoelastic response of a simply supported composite strip under a plane strain state. As an example, numerical calculations are carried out for a 2-layered composite strip and the numerical results are shown in figures.
