Abstract
A numerical model based on the dual reciprocity boundary element method (DRBEM) is extended to study the generalized theories of magneto-thermo-viscoelasticity in a rotating plate of functionally graded material (FGM). The material properties of the FGM plate have a gradient in the thickness direction. and are anisotropic in the plane of the plate. In the case of plane deformation, an implicit-implicit staggered scheme was proposed and implemented for use with the DRBEM to obtain the solution for the displacement and temperature fields. A comparison of the results for different theories of magneto-thermo-viscoelasticity is presented graphically. Numerical results that demonstrate the validity of the proposed method are also presented graphically.
