Natural characteristics analysis of magneto-electro-elastic multilayered plate using analytical and finite element method

For the magneto-electro-elastic multilayered plate, the natural characteristics of regular simply supported three-layered plate is investigated through analytical and finite element method respectively. First, the analytical model of simply supported magneto-electro-elastic multilayered plate is built according to state vector, and then the analytical solution of natural characteristics is obtained by propagator matrix method. Afterwards, the numerical solution of natural characteristics is calculated by finite element method based on the theory of magneto-electro-elastic multilayered plate. Finally, the comparison analysis of analytical and numerical solutions are conducted respectivly, and the results indicate that they have an excellent agreement.
