Modified strain gradient analysis of microscale dynamic response suppression of SMA-composite microplates featuring 2D superelastic phase transformations and kinematic nonlinearity

In contrast to all the previous researches, a 3D transformation model is used here instead of the less accurate 1D models for the energy dissipation/pseudoelasticity response evaluation of the shape memory alloy (SMA) wire-reinforced-composite plates in the microscale world, for the first time. The governing equations are developed by incorporation of the modified strain gradient theory (MSGT) in the principle of minimum total potential energy....
