A microstructure-dependent anisotropic magneto-electro-elastic Mindlin plate model based on an extended modified couple stress theory

A new model for anisotropic magneto-electro-elastic Mindlin plates is developed by using an extended modified couple stress theory. The equations of motion and complete boundary conditions are simultaneously obtained by a variational formulation based on Hamilton’s principle. The new anisotropic magneto-electro-elastic plate model includes the models for orthotropic and transversely isotropic magneto-electro-elastic Mindlin plates and the model...
