Abstract
In this paper, the nonlinear dynamics of fractional viscoelastic polyethylene terephthalate (PET) membranes with linearly varying density are elaborated. The viscoelasticities of the PET membranes are characterized with the fractional Kelvin–Voigt model, and the density distribution is considered a linear fluctuation in the lateral direction. The geometrically nonlinear formulation is established with the von-Karman theory and the Hamilton principle. The Bubnov–Galerkin method is used to solve the resulting fractional differential equations, and a refined numerical scheme combining the finite difference with a discrete Caputo-type fractional derivative approximation is developed. Comparison examples are provided to substantiate the accuracy and effectiveness of the present method. A detailed parametric analysis is performed to illuminate the effects of the fractional order, density coefficient and various system parameters on the time response of the viscoelastic PET membranes. This study paves the way for fractional modelling and vibrational analysis of viscoelastic substrates in flexible electronics manufacturing.
