Nonlinear vibration of a simply-supported Euler-Bernoulli microbeam with fractional Kelvin-Voigt viscoelastic model subjected to harmonic excitation is investigated in this paper. For small scale effects the modified strain gradient theory is used. For take into account geometric nonlinearities the Von karman theory is applied. Beam equations are derived from Hamilton principle and the Galerkin method is used to convert fractional partial differential equations into fractional ordinary differential equations. Problem is solved by using the method of multiple scales and amplitude-frequency equations are obtained for primary, super-harmonic and sub-harmonic resonance. Effects of force amplitude, fractional parameters and nonlinearity on the frequency responses for primary, super-harmonic and sub-harmonic resonance are investigated. Finally results are compared with ordinary Kelvin-Voigt viscoelastic model.

ABSTRACTIn this paper, the mechanical behavior of a functionally graded nano-cylinder under a radial pressure is investigated. Strain gradient theory is used to include the small scale effects in this analysis. The variations in material properties along the thickness direction are included based on three different models. Due to slight variations in engineering materials, the Poisson’s ratio is assumed to be constant. The governing equation and its corresponding boundary conditions are obtained using Hamilton’s principle. Due to the complexity of the governed system of differential equations, numerical methods are employed to achieve a solution. The analysis is general and can be reduced to classical elasticity if the material length scale parameters are taken to be zero. The effect of material indexn, variations in material properties and the applied internal and external pressures on the total and high-order stresses, are well examined. For the cases in which the applied external pressure at the inside (or outside) radius is zero, due to small effects in nano-cylinder, some components of the high-order radial stresses do not vanish at the boundaries. Based on the results, the material inhomogeneity indexn, as well as the selected model through which the mechanical properties may vary along the thickness, have significant effects on the radial and circumferential stresses.

AbstractIn recent years, nanostructures have been used in a vast number of applications, making the study of the mechanical behaviour of such structures important. In this paper, two different constitutive equations including first-order strain gradient and simplified differential non-local are employed to model the buckling behaviour of skew nanoplates. The Galerkin method is used for solving the equations in order to obtain buckling load. Using this method, the influence of different parameters consisting of non-classical properties, boundary conditions, and geometrical parameters such as length and angle on the buckling load, are studied. The results showed that small-scale effects are very important in skew graphene sheets and their inclusion results in smaller buckling loads.

Size Dependent

In this paper, the size-dependent nonlinear pull-in behavior of rectangular microplates made from functionally graded materials (FGMs) subjected to electrostatic actuation is numerically studied using a novel approach. The small scale effects are taken into account according to Mindlin’s first-order strain gradient theory (SGT). The plate model is formulated based on the first-order shear deformation theory (FSDT) using the virtual work principle. The size-dependent relations are derived in general form, which can be reduced to those based on different elasticity theories, including the modified strain gradient, modified couple stress and classical theories (MSGT, MCST and CT). The solution of the problem is arrived at by employing an efficient matrix-based method called the variational differential quadrature (VDQ). First, the quadratic form of the energy functional including the size effects is obtained. Then, it is discretized by the VDQ method using a set of matrix differential and integral operators. Finally, the achieved discretized nonlinear equations are solved by the pseudo arc-length continuation method. In the numerical results, the effects of material length scale parameters, side length-to-thickness ratio and FGM’s material gradient index on the nonlinear pull-in instability of microplates with different boundary conditions are investigated. A comparison is also made between the predictions by the MSGT, MCST and CT.

This is the first research on the thermal buckling analysis of graphene nanoplatelets reinforced composite (GPLRC) doubly curved open cylindrical micropanel in the framework of numerical-based two-dimensional generalized differential quadrature method (2D-GDQM). Additionally, the small-scale effects are analyzed based on nonlocal strain gradient theory (NSGT). The stresses and strains are obtained using the high-order shear deformable theory (HOSDT). The rule of mixture is employed to obtain varying thermal expansion, and Poisson’s ratio, while module of elasticity is computed by modified Halpin–Tsai model. In addition, nonlinear temperature changes along the GPLRC micropanel’s thickness direction. Governing equations and boundary conditions of the GPLRC doubly curved open cylindrical micropanel are obtained by implementing the extended Hamilton’s principle. Besides, for the validation of the results, the results of current model are compared to the results acquired from analytical method. The results show that GPL weight function ([Formula: see text], the ratio of shell curvatures ([Formula: see text]/[Formula: see text], NSG parameters, and geometric parameters have a significant influence on the thermal buckling characteristics of the GPLRC doubly curved open cylindrical micropanel.

The small-scale effects on the thermoelastic damping (TED) in Euler–Bernoulli micro-beams is investigated in this study. To this purpose, by utilizing the strain gradient theory (SGT) and the dual-phase-lag (DPL) heat conduction model, the coupled equations of motion and heat conduction are derived. By solving these equations simultaneously and using the Galerkin method, the real and imaginary parts of the frequency and the amount of TED in thin micro-beams are obtained. The results predicted by SGT are compared with those given by the modified couple stress theory (MCST) and the classical continuum theory. In addition, TED is calculated on the basis of energy dissipation approach which shows that the difference between the obtained results and those evaluated based on the frequency approach is negligible. Some numerical results are also presented in order to study the effects of different parameters of the micro-beams as well as the type of the boundary conditions on TED and the critical thickness; these parameters include the micro-beam height, its aspect ratio and type of the material.

In this paper, the coupled three-dimensional flexural vibration of micro-rotors is investigated by taking into account the small-scale effects utilizing the strain gradient theory, which is a powerful nonclassical continuum theory in capturing small-scale effects. A micro-rotor consists mainly of a flexible micro-rotating shaft and a disk. With the aid of Hamilton's principle, governing equations of motion are derived and then transformed to the complex form. By implementing the Galerkin's method, a coupled ordinary differential equation is attained for the system. Expressions for the first two natural frequencies of the spinning micro-rotors are obtained with truncated two-term equation. Parametric studies on the results for different responses illustrate that the values of higher-order material constants may have significant effects on the natural frequencies of the system.

Based on modified strain gradient theory, nonlinear vibration analysis of a functionally graded piezoelectric doubly curved microshell in thermal environment has been performed in this research. Three scale parameters have been included in the modeling of thin doubly curved microshell in order to capture micro-size effects. Graded material properties between the top and bottom surfaces of functionally graded piezoelectric doubly curved microshell have been considered via incorporating power-law model. It is also assumed that the microshell is exposed to a temperature field of uniform type and the material properties are temperature-dependent. By analytically solving the governing equations based on the harmonic balance method, the closed form of nonlinear vibration frequency has been achieved. Obtained results indicate the relevance of calculated frequencies to three scale parameters, material gradation, electrical voltage, curvature radius, and temperature changes.

Axially Moving

The nonlinear vibration of axially moving nanobeams at the microscale exhibits remarkable scale effects. A model of an axially moving nanobeam is established based on non-local strain gradient theory and considering two scale effects. The discrete equation of a non-autonomous planar system is obtained using the Galerkin method. The response characteristics of the system are determined using phase diagrams and Poincaré sections, and the effects of the scale parameters on the form of the motion are analyzed. The results show that as the non-local parameter and the material characteristic length parameter vary, the system undergoes multiple forms of motion, including periodic, period-doubling and chaotic motions. Two routes to chaos — period-doubling bifurcation and intermittent chaos — are identified in the variation ranges of the two scale parameters.
