Abstract
In this study, the flexural wave propagation properties of biocompatible sandwich nanoplate exposed to temperature and horizontal magnetic fields were investigated. The sandwich nanoplate’s motion equations were developed by combining nonlocal strain gradient elasticity with high-order shear deformation theory. The sandwich plate consists of three layers. The top and bottom surfaces are symmetrically composed of zirconium and Ti6Al4V from the surface to the core. The core layer is composed of foam structures (uniform and symmetrical). Within the scope of the study, the effects of material gradation index, temperature, foam model, foam void ratio, magnetic field, Pasternak foundation, and nonlocal strain gradient parameters on the flexural wave propagation properties of the sandwich nanoplate were determined. It was obtained from the analysis results that the desired wave propagation characteristics can be obtained by changing the properties of the core and surface layers of the sandwich structure. The findings of this work may be beneficial in improved bio-applications, sound transducers, wearable equipment for protection against sound and vibration, and the development of stealth technologies from sonar radars.
