Two-dimensional analysis of magnetoelectric effects in multiferroic laminated plates

Two-dimensional equations for coupled extensional, flexural, and thickness-shear motions of laminated plates of piezoelectromagnetic layers are obtained from 3-dimensional equations. The equations are used to analyze magnetoelectric couplings in the extensional deformation of a laminated plate of piezoelectric and piezomagnetic layers. Magnetoelectric effects in 4 specific configurations of laminates are calculated and examined.
