Abstract
This study investigates the nonlinear vibration of magnetoelectroelastic composite cylindrical nanoshells embedded in elastic media for the first time. The small-size effect and thermoelectromagnetic loadings are considered. Based on the nonlocal elasticity theory and Donnell’s nonlinear shell theory, the nonlinear governing equations and the corresponding boundary conditions are derived using Hamilton’s principle. Then, the Galerkin method is utilized to transform the governing equations into a nonlinear ordinary differential equation and subsequently the method of multiple scales is employed to obtain an approximate analytical solution to nonlinear frequency response. The present results are verified by the comparison with the published ones in the literature. Finally, an extensive parametric study is conducted to examine the effects of the nonlocal parameter, the external magnetic potential, the external electric potential, the temperature change, and the elastic media on the nonlinear vibration characteristics of magnetoelectroelastic composite nanoshells.
