TL;DR: In this article, nonlinear behavior analysis of an asymmetrically laminated composite beam (LCB) on nonlinear foundation under axial and in-plane thermal loading is considered.
Abstract: In this paper, nonlinear behavior analysis of an asymmetrically laminated composite beam (LCB) on nonlinear foundation under axial and in-plane thermal loading is considered. To solve the obtained governing equation, a novel method based on Laplace transform is used. The resulted approximate analytical solution allows us the parametric study of different parameters which influence the nonlinear behavior of the system. The numerical results illustrate that proposed technique yields a very rapid convergence of the solution as well as low computational effort. The accuracy of the proposed method is verified by those available in literatures.

TL;DR: In this article, a new analytical method called Laplace iteration method (LIM) is used to investigate nonlinear vibration behavior of Euler-Bernoulli and Rayleigh beam on nonlinear elastic foundation with three different combinations of edge conditions (simply supported, clamped clamped and simply supported clamped) subjected to axial load.
Abstract: In this study, a new analytical method called Laplace iteration method (LIM) is used to investigate nonlinear vibration behavior of Euler–Bernoulli and Rayleigh beam on nonlinear elastic foundation with three different combinations of edge conditions (simply supported, clamped–clamped and simply supported–clamped) subjected to axial load. Closed form solutions for natural frequencies, beam deflection, critical buckling and post-buckling loads are also presented. Furthermore, the effects of vibration amplitude, slenderness ratio, linear and nonlinear elastic coefficients of foundation and axial load on the nonlinear frequency and buckling load are discussed. Finally, results obtained by the proposed method are compared with those available in literature. The results showed that in comparison with other approximate analytical solutions, LIM leads to solutions that are in good agreement with respect to existing references which are valid for a wide range of vibration amplitudes meanwhile one or two iterations are enough for obtaining the results.

Abstract: This paper investigates the dynamic pull-in instability of vibrating micro-beams undergoing large deflection under electrosatically actuation. The governing equation of motion is derived based on the modified couple stress theory. Homotopy Perturbation Method is employed to produce the high accuracy approximate solution as well as the second-order frequency- amplitude relationship. The nonlinear governing equation of micro beam vibrations predeformed by an electric field includes both even and odd nonlinearities. The influences of basic non-dimensional parameters on the pull-in instability as well as the natural frequency are studied. It is demonstrated that two terms in series expansions are sufficient to produce high accuracy solution of the micro-structure. The accuracy of proposed asymptotic approach is validated via numerical results. The phase portrait of the system exhibits periodic and homoclinic orbits.
