Abstract
: In this paper, a nonlinear model of clamped-clamped microbeam actuated by electrostatic load with stretching and thermoelastic effects is presented. Free vibration frequency is calculated by discretization based on DQ method. Frequency is a complex value due to the thermoelastic effect that dissipates the energy. By separating the real and imaginary parts of frequency, quality factor of thermoelastic damping is calculated. Both stretching and thermoelastic effects are validated against the results of the reference papers. The variations of thermoelastic damping versus elasticity modulus, coefficient of thermal expansion and geometrical parameters such as thickness, gap distance, and length are investigated and these results are compared in the linear and nonlinear models for high values of voltage. Also, this paper shows that since for high values of electrostatic voltage the linear model reveals a large error for calculating the thermoelastic damping, the nonlinear model should be used for this purpose.

Abstract
The present work studies the performance of linear and nonlinear dynamic vibration absorbers mounted on Euler–Bernoulli beams subjected to moving loads. Absorbers used in this work consist of one mass, two springs and one linear damper.The springs may be considered either linear or non-linear. The objective is to compare the performance of these absorbers with classical dynamic and nonlinear absorbers. The partial differential equations governing the problem are reduced to a set of ordinary differential equations by means of Galerkin–Bubnov method. The performance of the dynamic absorbers in reduction of the beams’ vibration is estimated through the maximum amplitude of vibration and the portion of energy dissipated by the dynamic damper. Finally, after optimizations, the effectiveness of the dynamic absorbers is determined for different conditions and applications.

Abstract
Complex nonlinear behaviors such as chaotic motion have devastating effects on dynamic systems. In this study, nonlinear behavior of simply supported rectangular viscoelastic plates was examined during supersonic aerodynamics and compared with the nonlinear elastic plate. Classical plate theory was used to obtain the plate equations, and Von- Kármán strain-displacement relations were used to consider the nonlinear geometric effects. The Kelvin Voigt model was also used to describe the viscoelastic properties and the “first-order piston theory" was used for supersonic aerodynamic flow. The equations of motion of the rectangular plate were extracted using the Lagrangian method and then, discretized by the Rayleigh-Ritz method. Solution of the equations was performed using fourth order Runge Kutta method. To investigate the dynamic behavior of the plates, the eigenvalues of the system, time history curves, phase portraits, Poincaré maps, and bifurcation diagrams were studied and analyzed. The results show that in some aspect ratios, the threshold for the occurrence of the flutter in the viscoelastic plate will be lower than that in the elastic plate. On the other hand, when the control parameter increases, complex nonlinear behavior such as chaos in the elastic plate goes simpler in the viscoelastic plate, such as periodic motion.
