Smart composites (SCs) are utilized in electro-mechanical systems such as actuators and
energy harvesters. Typically, thin-walled components such as beams, plates, and shells are …

Recently, hard-magnetic microparticles were embedded into soft matrix to manufacture a
new type of magnetoactive soft materials, ie hard-magnetic soft (HMS) materials. Due to the …

The goal of the current investigation is to determine the dynamic behaviour of double-arch
systems: the system is made of two arches reinforced by three different functionally graded …

Nanocomposites can show different properties according to the type of reinforcements they
have. In this article, a model for the study of nanocomposites is examined, which is able to …

The novelty here comes from not only the perfect nonlinear three-dimensional (3D) electro-
elasticity investigation but also the mixed material itself. The literature widely showed …

Considering the prominent properties of nanocomposites, the closer their modeling is to
reality, the more suitable it is for engineering applications. One of the steps that can be taken …

This paper presents an approach to evaluate the effective properties of the 1–3 composite
material formed of piezoelectric fibre and matrix material using an artificial neural network …

In the present numerical simulation work, effective elastic and piezoelectric properties are
calculated and a comparative study is conducted on a cement matrix‐based piezocomposite …
