Effective elastic behavior analysis of three-layer quasicrystal composite plates

In this paper, the effective elastic behavior of three-layer quasicrystal composite plates are forecasted. Firstly, effective properties of the first and third layers quasicrystal composite plates containing ellipsoidal inclusions are obtained according to the Mori-Tanaka model. Secondly, the three-layer composite plates effective behavior parameters are computed by employing the general matrix approach. The numerical examples reveal the influence of the inclusions geometry and volume fraction on the three-layer quasicrystal composite plates effective behavior parameters. The findings indicate that changing the elastic constants of the phason field and phononphason coupling field of inclusions will affect the effective behavior parameters of the three-layer quasicrystal composite plates. The increase in layers to some extent reduces the effective behavioral parameters.
