Effect of distribution pattern on the frequency ratio
 The nonlinear frequency grows as the initial
deflection increases
 For a given initial condition, FGO and FGX distribution
patterns present the highest and the lowest
nonlinear frequency ratios.
Effect of Volume fraction on the nonlinear
ratio
 Increasing the SWCNT volume

fraction provides slight increase in
nonlinear frequency ratio
Effect of Volume Fraction on the response
 As the carbon nanotubes volume fraction

increases, the hardening property of the
structure increases. In simple words, for a given
amplitude of excitation, the higher volume
fraction, the stiffer structure.
Effect of Distribution Pattern on the frequency
response curve
 The beam with FGO pattern has the strongest
hardening behavior.
 The beam with FGX pattern has the weakest
hardening behavior.
Conclusion
As that the negative applied voltage increases, the linear and nonlinear fundamental natural
frequency increase.
FGX and FGO distribution patterns possess the lowest and highest nonlinear
frequency ratios in free vibration domain, and for the resonance domain the beam
with FGX and FGO distribution pattern has the strongest and the weakest hardening
behavior, respectively.
Adding a foundation with shearing parameter causes the nonlinear to linear

frequency ratio to decrease. However, the nonlinear elastic foundation makes
the structure possess a higher nonlinear to linear frequency ratio.
Increasing the carbon nanotubes volume fraction, and decreasing

temperature cause the system to be exhibit a stiffer behavior.
