The magneto–elasto–electric equivalent circuits for L–L, L–T, and T-T
modes were developed. The proposed equivalent circuit method is
quite useful for both static and dynamic analysis of magnetoelectric
(ME) laminates, especially for electromechanical resonance analysis.
The equivalent circuit method predicts that ME coupling in
