In this paper, the nonlinear free and forced vibration responses of sandwich nano-beams with three various functionally graded (FG) patterns of reinforced carbon nanotubes (CNTs) face-sheets are investigated. The sandwich nano-beam is resting on nonlinear Visco-elastic foundation and is subjected to thermal and electrical loads. The nonlinear governing equations of motion are derived for an Euler-Bernoulli beam based on Hamilton principle and von Karman nonlinear relation. To analyze nonlinear vibration, Galerkin's decomposition technique is employed to convert the governing partial differential equation (PDE) to a nonlinear ordinary differential equation (ODE). Furthermore, the Multiple Times Scale (MTS) method is employed to find approximate solution for the nonlinear time, frequency and forced responses of the sandwich nano-beam. Comparison between results of this paper and previous published paper shows that our numerical results are in good agreement with literature. In addition, the nonlinear frequency, force response and nonlinear damping time response is carefully studied. The influences of important parameters such as nonlocal parameter, volume fraction of the CNTs, different patterns of CNTs, length scale parameter, Visco-Pasternak foundation parameter, applied voltage, longitudinal magnetic field and temperature change are investigated on the various responses. One can conclude that frequency of FG-AV pattern is greater than other used patterns.

Here, we consider the existence and uniqueness solution of nonlinear integral equation of the second kind of type Volterra-Hammerstein. Also, the normality and continuity of the integral operator are discussed. A numerical method is used to obtain a system of nonlinear integral equations in position. The solution is obtained, and many applications in one, two and three dimensionals are considered.

In this article, nonlinear finite element solutions of bending responses of functionally graded spherical panels are presented. The material properties of functionally graded material are graded in thickness direction according to a power-law distribution of volume fractions. A general nonlinear mathematical shallow shell model has been developed based on higher order shear deformation theory by taking the geometric nonlinearity in Green-Lagrange sense. The model is discretised using finite element steps and the governing equations are obtained through variational principle. The nonlinear responses are evaluated through a direct iterative method. The model is validated by comparing the responses with the available published literatures. The efficacy of present model has also been established by demonstrating a simulation based nonlinear model developed in ANSYS environment. The effects of power-law indices, support conditions and different geometrical parameters on bending behaviour of functionally graded shells are obtained and discussed in detail.

This paper discusses the nonlinear time-invarient circuit composed of a tunnel diode. Prior to determine the solution of the nonlinear network which has negative resistance elements, the static characteristics of the nonlinear resistance elements need to be represented by function. Polynomial curve fitting is discussed to represent the static characteristies by least squares approximation. In order to solve the nonlinear network, the state equations for the networks are set up and solved by prediction corrector method. Finally, the limit cycle is plotted to discuss the stability of the nonlinear network and the oscillation condition.

In this study, Homotopy Perturbation Method (HPM) is used to solve the nonlinear oscillators with damping. We have considered two strong nonlinear equations to show the application of the method. The Runge-Kutta's algorithm is used to obtain the numerical solution for the problems. The method works very well for the whole range of initial amplitudes and does not demand small perturbation and also sufficiently accurate to both linear and nonlinear physics and engineering problems. Finally to show the accuracy of the HPM, the results have been shown graphically and compared with the numerical solution.

In this paper, a new analytical approach has been presented for solving nonlinear conservative oscillators. Variational approach leads us to high accurate solution with only one iteration. Two different high nonlinear examples are also presented to show the application and accuracy of the presented approach. The results are compared with numerical solution using runge-kutta algorithm in different figures and tables. It has been shown that the variatioanl approach doesn't need any small perturbation and is accurate for nonlinear conservative equations.

We study the propagation of two pulses with orthogonal linear polarizations in a nonlinear periodic dielectric structure with $X^{(3)}$ nonlinearity. Using an envelope- function approach, we derive the coupled nonlinear Schrodinger equations governing the spatio-temporal evolutions of the two orthogonally polarized modes in a nonlinear periodic structure. We then find their solitary-wave solutions referred to as coupled gap solitons. We show that two orthogonally polarized pulses can co-propagate as a coupled gap soliton through a nonlinear periodic structure while each pulse alone will be strongly reflected due to the Bragg reflection. Based on the results, we present an all-optical switching scheme which has a novel architecture and principle. We also study the stability of coupled gap solitons to find the dragging phenomena in a nonlinear birefringent periodic medium.

Nonlinear normal mode (NNM) vibration, in a nonlinear dual mass Hamiltonian system, which has 6$\^$th/ order homogeneous polynomial as a nonlinear term, is studied in this paper. The existence, bifurcation, and the orbital stability of periodic motions are to be studied in the phase space. In order to find the analytic expression of the invariant curves in the Poincare Map, which is a mapping of a phase trajectory onto 2 dimensional surface in 4 dimensional phase space, Whittaker's Adelphic Integral, instead of the direct integration of the equations of motion or the Birkhoff-Gustavson (B-G) canonical transformation, is derived for small value of energy. It is revealed that the integral of motion by Adelphic Integral is essentially consistent with the one obtained from the B-G transformation method. The resulting expression of the invariant curves can be used for analyzing the behavior of NNM vibration in the Poincare Map.

In this paper, two approximate analytical methods have been applied to forced nonlinear vibration problems to assess a high accurate analytical solution. Variational Iteration Method (VIM) and Perturbation Method (PM) are proposed and their applications are presented. The main objective of this paper is to introduce an alternative method, which do not require small parameters and avoid linearization and physically unrealistic assumptions. Some patterns are illustrated and compared with numerical solutions to show their accuracy. The results show the proposed methods are very efficient and simple and also very accurate for solving nonlinear vibration equations.

In this study, three approximate analytical methods have been proposed to prepare an accurate analytical solution for nonlinear oscillators with fractional potential. The basic idea of the approaches and their applications to nonlinear discontinuous equations have been completely presented and discussed. Some patterns are also presented to show the accuracy of the methods. Comparisons between Energy Balance Method (EBM), Variational Iteration Method (VIM) and Hamiltonian Approach (HA) shows that the proposed approaches are very close together and could be easily extend to conservative nonlinear vibrations.
