Magnetostrictive assisted free and forced vibration response of layered functionally graded circular plate with effect of prestress

Abstract One of the optimization requirements for improving the performance of magnetostrictive materials is prestress, which improves the magnetostriction coefficient. The influence of prestress on the fundamental frequencies and vibration suppression of a smart functionally graded circular plate is examined in the current work. The coupled differential equations regulating the motion are derived using Hamilton’s principle. This paper proposes using Kerr’s foundation as a flexible support structure for the disc braking system assembly. The Dirac-delta function and differential quadrature technique have been used to quantitatively simulate the forced vibration behaviour of a circular plate under moving loads. The accuracy and validity of the method used are tested by comparing numerical results to those that have already been published.
