Geometrically nonlinear vibrations of double-layered nanoplates
Abstract
The geometrically nonlinear vibrations of simply supported double-layered graphene
sheet systems are considered in the presented manuscript. The interaction between layers is
taken into account due to van der Waals forces. The investigation is based on the nonlocal
elasticity theory, Kirchhoff plate theory and von Kármán theory. The governing equations are
used in mixed form by introducing the stress Airy function. The analytical presentation of the
nonlinear frequency ratio for in-phase vibration and anti-phase vibration modes is presented. It
is shown that the nonlocal parameter included in the compatibility equation can significantly
change the vibrating characteristics.
