▎ 摘　　要

This research is focused on the effects of nonlinear terms on the dynamical behavior of graphene reinforced laminated composite plates. Firstly, the governing equations of the graphene reinforced composite thin plate subjected to transverse excitations are derived by using the Hamilton's principle and the von Karman deformation theory. Then numerical method is applied to investigate the nonlinear behaviors of graphene reinforced composite plates. Bifurcation diagram, waveform and phase portrait are demonstrated to analyze the nonlinear dynamics of the graphene reinforced laminated composite plates. Furthermore, the effects of nonlinear terms on the dynamical behavior are discussed in detail, where both the stronger and weaker nonlinear characteristics of lower modes of the plate are presented. Moreover, some interesting phenomena are obtained in numerical simulation. (C) 2019 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
