Resumen
- This research has been conducted to analyze the free vibration behavior of a five-layered composite plate with a viscoelastic auxetic core. The plate comprises a viscoelastic auxetic core layer, functionally graded carbon nanotube reinforced composite (FG-CNTRC) interior, and magneto-electro-elastic functionally graded porous (MEE–FGP) exterior skins, which is rested on Winkler–Pasternak foundation. According to the magnetic–electric boundary conditions and Maxwell equations, the electric and magnetic potentials of the plate are determined. The macro-mechanical properties of the auxetic core have been derived based on Gibson’s model; the three-parameter Zener model has also been utilized to describe its viscoelastic behavior. Additionally, the equations of motion of the plate are obtained and solved by using Reddy’s third-order shear deformation theory (TSDT) and the Galerkin method, respectively. Moreover, various aspects of the current research have been validated by comparing the numerical results with those reported in the literature section. Overall, in the numerical result section, the effects of different parameters and conditions such as geometrical parameters, position of the plate’s interfaces of layers (thickness of the core and face layers), various distribution patterns and volume fractions of both CNT and porosity, external work parameters of the MEE skins, boundary conditions, Winkler–Pasternak stiffness coefficients, the relaxation time, and other parameters of the viscoelastic core on the natural frequency and loss factor of the composite plate are represented.
