This paper studies nonlinear vibration analysis of a graphene nanoplatelets’ composite sandwich. The core and two face-sheets of composite sandwich plate are fabricated from a honeycomb material and graphene nanoplatelet (GNP) reinforcements, respectively. Displacement field of sandwich plate is developed based on first-order shear deformation theory. Geometric nonlinearity is accounted in the constitutive relations based on von-Karman assumptions. After derivation of the governing partial differential motion equations through Hamilton’s principle, Galerkin’s approach is used to reduce them into a nonlinear equation of motion in terms of transverse defection. The nonlinear frequency is found based on linear frequency and initial conditions, analytically. The nonlinear-to-linear frequency ratio is computed based on significant input parameters of honeycomb structure and graphene nanoplatelets such as thickness-to-length and thickness-to-height ratios, angle of honeycomb, various distribution, weigh fraction and geometric characteristics of graphene nanoplatelets. Before presentation of full numerical results, the comprehensive comparative study is presented for verifcation of the derivation and solution method.

The classical BEM produces fully populated coefficients matrix. With Galerkin Boundary Element Method (GBEM) is possible to produce the symmetric coefficients matrix. Generally the Galerkin boundary integral equations lead to the algebraic system where known and unknown boundary values are defined by one or two dimensional integrals. The main problems are related to the integrals evaluation and treatment of the singularities. These paper presents problems associated with integration for GBEM.

Metoda elementów brzegowych Galerkina (GBEM), w przeciwieństwie do metody klasycznej, przy pewnych warunkach generuje symetryczny układ równań algebraicznych. Najtrudniejszym elementem obliczeń numerycznych w standardowej metodzie elementów brzegowych są całki osobliwe. Trudność ta jeszcze wzrasta w przypadku podejścia Galerkina. W niniejszym artykule przedstawiono propozycje numerycznego wyznaczania całek w symetrycznej metodzie GBEM.
