... theboundaryandinterfaceconditionsareexactly satisfied.Noassumptionondeformations,stresses,magneticandelectricfieldalongthethickness direction is introduced. The governing partial differential equations are finally solved using the state-spacemethod.The presentformulationhasbeenvalidatedthroughcomparisonwithother similar works available in the open literature. Effects of two-parameter elastic foundation, gradient index, bonding imperfection, applied mechanical and electrical loads on the static and dynamic response of the functionally graded magneto-electro-elastic (FGMEE) plate are discussed.Itisworthytonotethatthepresentnovelexactformulationincludesallprevious solutions, such as piezoelectric, piezomagnetic, purely elastic solution, elastic foundation and interlayerslipproblems,as specialcases.Theobtainedexactsolutioncanbeused toassess the accuracyoflayeredFGMEEplatetheoriesand/orvalidatingfiniteelementcodes.
