Nonlinear vibration of smart sandwich plate with auxetic graphene reinforced metal matrix composite core layer

his paper investigates the nonlinear vibration of imperfect smart sandwich plate which consists of an auxetic graphene reinforced metal matrix composite (GRRMC) core layer integrated with two magneto-electro-elastic face sheets. The Poisson’s ratio of the GRMMC core is negative while the material properties of magneto-electro-elastic face sheets depend on the volume fraction of piezoelectric and piezomagnetic phases.
