In this paper, nonlinear vibration analysis of functionally graded piezoelectric (FGP) beam with porosities material is investigated based on the Timoshenko beam theory. Material properties of FG porous beam are described according to the rule of mixture which modified to approximate material properties with porosity phases. The Ritz method is used to obtain the governing equation which is then...

Sevugarajan and Menon [4-6] have studied the nonlinear Paul ion trap. They have applied the Lindstedt-Poincare technique, the modified Lindstedt-Poincare technique and the multiple scales perturbation technique for solving the nonlinear equation of ion motion in nonlinear ion trap. Also, in two previous studies [7,8] done on nonlinear ion traps by one of the present authors, the homotopy pertur...

This paper provides a complete self-consistent nonlinear theory for electron plasma waves, within the framework of adiabatic approximation. The applies whatever variations wave amplitude, provided that they are slow enough, and it is also valid when inhomogeneous non stationary. Moreover, accounts for: (i) geometrical jump in action resulting from separatrix crossing; (ii) continuous change pha...

An active antenna for transmitter application in S frequency band is designed and analyzed using harmonic balance technique which is based on the nonlinear model of active devices. In this active antenna, the amplifier is integrated with the radiator which is a rectangular patch antenna. This patch antenna is analyzed employing full-wave momentum method. By applying nonlinear model of transisto...
