Abstract

PurposeIn the present study, the nonlinear vibration analysis of a nanoscale beam with different boundary conditions named as simply supported, clamped-clamped, clamped-simple and clamped-free are investigated numerically.MethodsNanoscale beam is considered as Euler-Bernoulli beam model having size-dependent. This non-classical nanobeam model has a size dependent incorporated with the material length scale parameter. The equation of motion of the system and the related boundary conditions are derived using the modified couple stress theory and employing Hamilton’s principle. Multiple scale method is used to obtain the approximate analytical solution.ResultNumerical results by considering the effect of the ratio of beam height to the internal material length scale parameter, h/l and with and without the Poisson effect, υ are graphically presented and tabulated.ConclusionWe remark that small size effect and poisson effect have a considerable effect on the linear fundamental frequency and the vibration amplitude. In order to show the accuracy of the results obtained, comparison study is also performed with existing studies in the literature.
