this paper presents the high order frequency-amplitude relationship for nonlinear transversely vibrating beams with odd and even nonlinearities using homotopy perturbation method with an auxiliary term (hpmat). the governing equations of vibrating buckled beam, beam carrying an intermediate lumped mass and quintic nonlinear beam are investigated to exhibit the reliability and ability of the pro...

Third order shear deformation theory of cylindrical shells is employed to investigate the vibration characteristics of non-homogeneous cylindrical shells surrounded by an elastic medium. The kinematic relations are obtained using the strain-displacement relations of Donnell shell theory. The shell properties are considered to be dependent on both position and thermal environment. A suitable fun...

Buckling and post-buckling thermomechanical deformations of a functionally graded material (FGM) Timoshenko beam resting on a two-parameter nonlinear elastic foundation and subjected to only a temperature rise have been numerically investigated with the shooting method. The material properties are assumed to vary only in the thickness direction according to a power law function. Through-the-thi...

The dynamic behaviour of a circular plate in contact with fluid and resting on two-parameter elastic foundations is of interest in the field of geotechnics, structure, highway, railway, oil and gas and mechanical engineering. In this work, the dynamic behaviour of circular plate in contact with fluid and resting on Winkler and Pasternak foundations is investigated. The coupled differential equa...
