| description | This paper studies wave propagation in a new structure composed of three layers. The upper and lower layers are made of a piezoelectromagnetic material reinforced with graphene platelets (GPLs) that may be uniformly disseminated or continuously varied throughout the thickness of the layers. To produce a lighter plate, the core layer is assumed to comprise honeycomb structures. The smart nanocomposite plate is exposed to external electric and magnetic potentials. The effective elastic modulus of the face layers of the sandwich plate is evaluated based on Halpin-Tsai model. Whereas, the mixture rule is utilized to calculate mass density, Poisson’s ratio and electric and magnetic properties of both upper and lower layers of the sandwich plate. The governing motion equations of the lightweight sandwich plate are obtained by refined higher-order shear deformation plate theory and Hamilton’s principle. These equations are solved analytically to obtain wave dispersion relations. Impacts of the geometry of plates, GPLs weight fraction, GPLs distribution patterns, piezoelectric properties, external electric voltage and external magnetic potential on the wave frequency and phase velocity of the GPLs lightweight plates are discussed in detail. |
