Thermoelastic damping of the axisymmetric vibration of laminated trilayered circular plate resonators

Thermoelastic damping is a critical loss mechanism in micromachined resonators used for sensing and communication applications. In this paper, thermoelastic damping of the axisymmetric vibration of laminated circular plate resonators will be discussed. Based on the classical laminated plate theory assumptions, the governing equations of coupled thermoelastic problems are established for axisymmetric out-of-plane vibration of trilayered circular plate with fully clamped boundary conditions. The analytical expression for thermoelastic damping is obtained and the accuracy is verified through comparison with FEM results. Then the effect of material selection and the volume fraction of the covering layers are numerically evaluated. Finally, the thermoelastic damping for different vibration modes is also evaluated.

The Free Vibration of the Magneto-Electro-Elastic Materials Laminated Circular Plate

In this paper, on the basis of the dynamic equation of material which contains transversely isotropic piezoelectric、piezomagnetic and elastic media, the state variables equation of piezoelectric、piezomagnetic and elastic circular plate in axial symmetric deformation is deduced. Under the given boundary conditions, according to the theorem of Caylay-Hamilton and applying the transfer matrix method, the solutions of state variables equation which are about free vibration of piezoelectric、piezomagnetic and elastic circular plate of single layer and multilayered are obtained. The calculation example indicates that from the varying law of the first natural frequency of the plate depending on the thickness-to-radius radio of the plate under varied conditions, the vibration properties of piezoelectric、piezomagnetic and laminated plate is related to the laminatation order of the material is gotten to know.

Nonlinear Piezothermoelasticity and Multi-Field Actuations, Part 1: Nonlinear Anisotropic Piezothermoelastic Shell Laminates

Nonlinear characteristics, either material or geometrical nonlinearity, and temperature variations can significantly influence the performance and reliability of piezoelectric sensors, actuators, structures, and systems. This paper is intended to examine the nonlinear piezothermoelastic characteristics and temperature effects of piezoelectric laminated systems, and it is divided into two parts. Part 1 is concerned with a mathematical modeling of nonlinear anisotropic piezothermoelastic shell laminates and Part 2 is a study of static and dynamic control of a nonlinear piezoelectric laminated circular plate subjected to mechanical, electric, and temperature excitations. Geometric nonlinearity induced by large deformations is considered in both parts. A generic nonlinear piezothermoelastic shell lamination theory is proposed and its nonlinear thermo-electromechanical equations are derived based on Hamilton’s principle. Thermo-electromechanical couplings among the elastic, electric, and temperature fields are discussed, and nonlinear components identified. Applications of the nonlinear theory to other materials, continua, sensors, actuators, and linear systems are discussed.
