Nonlocal strain gradient nonlinear resonance of bi-directional functionally graded composite microano-beams under periodic soft excitation

摘要

With the aid of advanced design techniques, functionally graded materials as promising new materials can be fabricated into various microano-structures to acquire stronger mechanical performance. In this work, the size-dependent nonlinear primary resonance of periodic soft excited microano-beams made of bi-directional functionally graded materials (2D-FGMs) is studied. To accomplish this end, the nonlocal strain gradient theory of elasticity is utilized within the framework of the refined hyperbolic shear deformation beam theory to construct a size-dependent beam model. On the basis of the variational approach using the principle of Hamilton, the non-classical differential equations of motion are achieved. Thereafter, a discretization scheme based numerical solving process via generalized differential quadrature method (GDQM) together with the pseudo-arclength continuation technique, the nonlocal strain gradient frequency response and amplitude response associated with the nonlinear primary resonance of 2D-FGM microano-beams with different boundary conditions are obtained. It is displayed that the nonlocal size dependency makes a reduction in the oscillation amplitudes associated with both of the bifurcation points, but the strain gradient size effect causes to increase them. These patterns are more significant for the second bifurcation point and for the simply supported-simply supported boundary conditions in comparison with the clamped-clamped ones. Also, it is observed that by increasing the value of both of the axial and lateral material property gradient indexes, the peak of the oscillation amplitude and its associated excitation frequency increase.
