▎ 摘　　要

This paper presents a semi-analytical approach to investigate wave propagation characteristics in functionally graded graphene reinforced piezoelectric composite plates. Three patterns of graphene platelets (GPLs) describe the layer-wise variation of material properties in the thickness direction. Based on the Reissner-Mindlin plate theory and the isogeometric analysis, elastodynamic wave equation for the piezoelectric composite plate is derived by Hamilton's principle and parameterized with the non-uniform rational B-splines (NURBS). The equation is transformed into a second-order polynomial eigenvalue problem with regard to wave dispersion. Then, the semi-analytical approach is validated by comparing with the existing results and the convergence on computing dispersion behaviors is also demonstrated. The effects of various distributions, volume fraction, size parameters and piezoelectricity of GPLs as well as different geometry parameters of the composite plate on dispersion characteristics are discussed in detail. The results show great potential of graphene reinforcements in design of smart composite structures and application for structural health monitoring. (C) 2020 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
