In this paper, a sandwich composite plate with tunable magneto-rheological (MR) fluid core is utilized for analyzing the wave propagation. Sandwich composite plate is made of three layers consisting of the base layer, MR layer and the limiter layer. MR layer is embedded within the base and the limiter layers.
Moreover, the upper and the lower layers are made of the elastic materials. This structure is also located on a viscoelastic substrate. At first, for achieving the governing equations of motion, Hamilton’s principle and classical plate theory (CLPT) are utilized. Then, exerting an analytical solution, the wave frequency and phase velocity of the propagated waves can be gained by solving eigenvalue problem.
By investigating the effect of the magnetic field, the results emphasize that the magnetic field intensity is most important factor for changing the value of the wave dispersion characteristic. Besides, results indicate by enhancing the coreto-top layer thickness ratio, the wave frequency decreases because MR fluid core is softer in comparison to the elastic layers, Hence, MR fluid core operates similar damper. At the end, the effect of the other parameters such as thickness of MR layer, Winkler, Pasternak and damping coefficients are also discussed.
