Study on Electro-Magneto-Elastic Fiber Composites with Periodically Distributed Reinforced Phases Under Antiplane Deformation Mode and its Applications

ABSTRACT

The response of electro-magneto-elastic long fiber composites containing periodically distributed reinforced phases under antiplane shear load coupled with inplane electromagnetic load, which lead to the antiplane deformation mode, is dealt with. There are three different electro-magneto-elastic materials in the unit cell (3-phase model), a rigorous analytical method is developed by using the generalized eigenstrains concept integrated with the doubly quasiperiodic Riemann boundary value problem theory. The expressions of electro-magneto-elastic fields in each phase of composites are obtained. As an important application of the presented solution, the effective electro-magneto-elastic moduli are predicted by using the average field theorem and compared with the results derived from the generalized self-consistent method.
