Abstract
In this paper, the nonlinear dynamics of the functionally graded graphene nanoplatelet reinforced composite (FG-GNPRC) dielectric and porous membrane subjected to electro-mechanical loading is investigated. The effective material properties of multiphase composites are determined via a two-step hybrid micromechanical model. Based on the hyperelastic membrane theory, Neo-Hookean constitutive model and the couple dielectric theory, the governing equations are obtained using an energy method considering damping and dielectric properties. Taylor series expansion (TSE) and differential quadrature (DQ) methods are utilized to discretize equations, which are then solved numerically by the incremental harmonic balance (IHB) method combined with arc-length continuation technique. The convergence analysis is carried out and the accuracy of the solution method is verified by comparing with the results of previous studies. The influence of the attributes of the internal pore, GNP, the geometric characteristics of membrane, stretching ratio and the applied electric filed on forced vibration and resonance response of the system are analyzed.
