Mechanically induced electric and magnetic fields in the bending and symmetric-shear deformations of a microstructure-dependent FG-MEE composite beam

A new FG-MEE composite microbeam model is developed using a general higher-order deformation theory (GHDT) to account for the symmetric thickness-shear and thickness-stretch deformations of a beam and a modified couple stress theory (MCST) to describe the microstructure-dependent size effect. Based on the basic assumption of field variables and Hamilton’s principle, the one-dimensional second-order coupled equations of motion and complete...
