This research addresses analytical solutions for vibration performance of simply supported sandwich plate subjected to coupled mechanical-electric-magnetic-thermal loads. The plate is made of graphene reinforced metal matrix composite (GRMMC) core and magneto-electro-elastic (MEE) face sheets. Three graphene distribution patterns, FG-X, FG-O, and UD are considered for evaluating the reinforcement efficiency of graphene. The Reddy’s higher order shear deformation plate theory and Hamilton’s principle are employed to formulate the equations of motion of the sandwich plate. Then, using double trigonometric functions for variables and applying Bubnov–Galerkin procedure, the system of nonlinear second-order differential equations is constructed to reveal the natural frequency, frequency ratio, and dynamic response of the sandwich plate. The influences of graphene distribution patterns and volume fraction, magnetic and electric potentials, temperature change, and volume fraction of piezoelectric phase are discussed in details. This research provides basis for the design of sandwich composite structures, especially smart structures and devices.
