TL;DR: In this article, the nonlinear free vibration of functionally graded nanocomposite beams reinforced by single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) based on Timoshenko beam theory and von Karman geometric nonlinearity is investigated.

TL;DR: In this paper, the nonlinear free vibration of microbeams made of functionally graded materials (FGMs) is investigated based on the modified couple stress theory and von Karman geometric nonlinearity.

TL;DR: In this paper, the dynamic stability of microbeams made of functionally graded materials (FGMs) is investigated based on the modified couple stress theory and Timoshenko beam theory, and the boundary points on the unstable regions are determined by Bolotin's method.

TL;DR: In this article, the nonlinear vibration of the piezoelectric nanobeams based on the nonlocal theory and Timoshenko beam theory was investigated, and a detailed parametric study was conducted to study the influences of the non-local parameter, temperature change and external electric voltage on the size-dependent non-linear vibration characteristics of the PNE.

TL;DR: The most recently developed functionally graded graphene platelets reinforced composite (FG-GPLRC) where GPLs are non-uniformly dispersed with more GPLs in the area where they are most needed to achieve significantly improved mechanical performance has opened up a new avenue for the development of next generation structural forms with an excellent combination of high stiffness, light weight and multi-functionality.
