Nonlinear secondary resonance of FG porous silicon nanobeams under periodic hard excitations based on surface elasticity theory

To impart desirable material properties, functionally graded (FG) porous silicon has been produced in which the porosity changes gradually across the material volume. The prime objective of this work is to predict the influence of the surface free energy on the nonlinear secondary resonance of FG porous silicon nanobeams under external hard excitations. On the basis of the closed-cell Gaussian-random field scheme, the mechanical properties of...
