Effects of magnetoelastic loads on free vibration characteristics of the magnetorheological-based sandwich beam

In this contribution, we have investigated the effects of magnetoelastic loads on free vibration characteristics of the magnetorheological-based sandwich beam. The considered sandwich beam consists of a magnetorheological core with elastic top and base layers. For these means, the structural governing equations are derived using the Hamilton principle and solved by the finite element method. The results are validated in comparison with the existing results in the literature. The effects of variation in the parameters such as magnetic field intensity and the thickness of the core and top layers on the deviation of the first natural frequency and the corresponding loss factor are studied as well. Finally, in order to provide deep insight, the effects of magnetoelastic loads on the dynamic behavior of the three-layered sandwich beam are examined through a comprehensive survey.
