Analysis of Thermo-Magneto-Elastic Nonlinear Dynamic Response of Shallow Conical Shells ()
1. Introduction
Thermo-magneto-elasticity is a new subject to study the strength, stiffness and stability of elastic components under the combined action of electromagnetic, temperature and deformation. Magneto-elasticity is the theory of studying the coupling between electromagnetic and deformation, thermo-elasticity combines elasticity and heat conduction to study the coupling theory between temperature field and elastic field. The thermo-magneto-elasticity includes heat conduction theory, classical elasticity theory and electromagnetic theory. These theories are applied to solve the coupling problems of temperature field, electromagnetic field and elastic field of conductive elastic elements located in magnetic field and considering thermal effect.
With the wide application of electromagnetic structure in the high-tech field, many components work in the environment of temperature change in engineering, the research on the thermos-elastic phenomenon of electromagnetic coupling has a strong engineering background and theoretical value [1] [2] . The elastic elements and structures in high energy-varying magnetic field under mechanical loads can produce various stresses. In addition to mechanical stress, there are the thermal stress generated by the induced eddy current losses, and the magnetic stress generated by the Lorentz force. These stresses affect each other, and to be high nonlinear. Previous studies on the thermo-magneto-elastic problem of plate and shell were mainly based on the simplified theory and the linear theories. However, in actual situation, most plate and shell structure are in the temperature-varying high-energy electromagnetic fields, which is a highlycoupled nonlinearity.
The key to the thermo-magneto-elastic analysis is the solution of the thermo-magneto-elastic equation. Xing studied on the dynamic response and quasi-static response of the rectangular plate thermo-magneto-elastic in the temperature-varying magnetic field with difference method. The curves of temperature, magnetic field intensity, induced current, and thermal elastic stress and displacement with time are obtained [3] . Higuchi et al. studied the cylinder affected by the change magnetic field and the thermo-magneto-elastic stress of the hollow cylindrical shell with separation of variables [4] [5] . Wang Ping studied the chaotic motion of the large deflection simple support plate under the coupling effect of mechanical loads, electromagnetic and temperature field [6] [7] . Alberto Milazzo presented a new one-dimensional model for the dynamic problem of magneto-electro-elastic generally laminated beams [8] . Based on the successful validation of the model, new results for free vibrations of functionally graded magneto-electro-elastic beams are presented. Zhang Lang analyzed the buckling and vibration of functionally graded magneto-electro-thermo-elastic circular cylindrical shells. Kattimani studied the Control of geometrically nonlinear vibrations of functionally graded magneto-electro-elastic plates [9] [10] .
It is very difficult to study the nonlinear dynamic response of a shallow conical shell in an alternating magnetic field and subjected to mechanical loads. The study on the nonlinear dynamic response of the shell is very rare. In this paper, the electromagnetic field equations are derived based on Maxwell’s equations and Ohm’s law. Based on the heat conduction equation and the heat balance equation, temperature field equations are derived. Based on nonlinear equations of classical plates and shells, considering the coupling effect of the Lorentz force and temperature stress, nonlinear magneto-elastic heat equations of shallow conical shell are deduced. Applying Galerkin method, the solution of thermomagneto-elastic equation, the rule of temperature, magnetic field and displacement varying with time under the coupling effect of the applied magnetic field and surface uniform stable mechanical loads are obtained.

2.2. Temperature Field
As electromagnetic field varying with time induces current in shallow conical shell, which formats Joule heating effect, that is induction current loss. As to shallow conical shell, it can approximately assume that current distribute uniformly in shallow conical shell because of a low frequency of the applied magnetic field and current, then the current loss per unit time per volume can be calculated by the following formula:
(3)
Set the initial temperature of shallow conical shell to zero, it is heated by Joule heating effect from t = 0, heat exchange exist among the Inner and outer surface and the bottom of the shell and media whose external temperature is zero. According to Fourier heat transfer law and energy conservation law, the control equation of heat conduction is established, which means that the transient temperature field
of shallow conical shell should satisfy the followed equation:

The shallow conical shell in the time dependent electromagnetic field also suffer the temperature stress induced by Joule heat and Lorentz force in addition to the external mechanical loads P, The Lorentz force can be expressed as

When discussing the thermo-magneto-elastic nonlinear problem of a shallow conical shell, the Kichhoff-love straight normal hypothesis is adopted, that the normal section perpendicular to the neutral surface before deformation of the shell remains a straight line after deformation and perpendicular to the neutral plane after deformation, and its length remains unchanged. Based on this assumption, the radial, toroidal and normal displacements of any point in a shell with a distance of z from the neutral plane under axial symmetry conditions can be expressed as:
(8)
Among them, u and w are the radial displacement and deflection at any point on the neutral surface of the shell respectively.
Considering the Von-Karman type large deflection geometric relation of conical shell, the strain-displacement relation at any point in the shell is obtained:

Some conclusions can be obtained through the calculation and analysis of shallow conical shell instances:
1) In the condition that other parameters are constant, mechanical load has an effect on the displacement amplitude of shallow conical shell, but has no effect on the vibration frequency.
2) In the condition that other physical parameters are invariable, the strength of applied magnetic field has influence to the displacement, but has no effect on the vibration frequency.
3) The stress and strain of plate and shell can be controlled when the parameters of magnetic field and mechanical load change appropriately. It has a certain reference value to the practical application of magneto-elastic coupling theory.
