Abstract
The forced nonlinear size-dependent vibrations and bending of axially functionally graded (AFG) tapered microbeams are examined incorporating extensibility. Employing the modified version of the couple stress-based theory, the nonlinear partial differential equations for the transverse and longitudinal motions for a clamped-clamped AFG tapered microbeam are obtained via Hamilton's principle. The variation of the mechanical properties and the cross-section of the AFG microbeam along the length are included in the equations of motion based on exponential distributions of the moduli of elasticity, mass density, Poisson's ratio, and cross-sectional area. The Galerkin method is utilised to obtain a set of discretised nonlinear differential equations of ordinary type; this set of equation is solved with the help of Houbolt's finite difference technique together with the Newton-Raphson method. The effects of the small-scale parameter, the gradient index, material properties variation, and the taper ratio on the nonlinear vibrations of the microsystem are investigated.
