A Theoretical and Experimental Study of Nonlinear Dynamics of Buckled Beams

We investigate theoretically and experimentally the nonlinear responses of a clamped-clamped buckled beam to a variety of external harmonic excitations and internal resonances. We assume that the beam geometry is uniform and its material is homogeneous. We initially buckle the beam by an axial f...
