DYNAMIC BEHAVIOR OF TWO ELASTICALLY CONNECTED NANOBEAMS UNDER A WHITE NOISE PROCESS

This paper investigates the almost-sure and moment stability of a double nanobeam system under stochastic compressive axial loading. By means of the Lyapunov exponent and the moment Lyapunov exponent method the stochastic stability of the nano system is analyzed for different system parameters under an axial load modeled as a wideband white noise process. The method of regular perturbation is used to determine the explicit asymptotic expressions for these exponents in the presence of small intensity noises
