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...

In this paper, the stability of a functionally graded magneto-electro-elastic (FG-MEE) micro-beam under actuation of electrostatic pressure is studied. For this purpose Euler-Bernoulli beam theory and constitutive relations for magneto-electro-elastic (MEE) materials have been used. We have supposed that material properties vary exponentially along the thickness direction of the micro-beam. Gov...

Understanding the various mechanisms of nonlinear mode coupling in micro and nano resonators has become an imminent necessity for their successful implementation in practical applications. However, consistent, repeatable, and flexible experimental procedures to produce nonlinear mode coupling are lacking, and hence research into well-controlled experimental conditions is crucial. Here, we demon...

Micro system technology is a relatively new scientific research that deals with the development and study of properties of materials in micro dimensions. Micro-grippers are widely used in switching, positioning, and assembling micron sized components in micro-robotics. In this study, the static and dynamic behavior of visco-elastic Micro-Tweezers under the thermal and electrostatic field is...

This paper applies a recently proposed numerical algorithm to discuss the deflection of viscoelastic micro-beams in time domain with direct access.
