Summary: In this paper, nonlinear dynamics, vibration and stability analysis of piezo-visco medium nanoshell resonator (PVM-NSR) based on functionally graded (FG) cylindrical nanoshell integrated with two piezoelectric layers subjected to visco-pasternak medium, electrostatic and harmonic excitations is investigated. Nonclassical method of the electro-elastic Gurtin-Murdoch surface/interface theory with von-Karman-Donnell’s shell model as well as Hamilton’s principle, the assumed mode method combined with Lagrange-Euler’s are considered. Complex averaging method combined with arc-length continuation is used to achieve a numerical solution for the steady state vibrations of the system. The stability analysis of the steady state response is performed. The parametric studies such as the effects of different boundary conditions, different geometric ratios, structural parameters, electrostatic and harmonic excitation on the nonlinear frequency response and stability analysis are studied. The results indicate that near the natural frequency of the nanoshell, it will lead to resonance and will have large motion amplitude and near the resonant frequency, the nanoshell shows a softening type of nonlinear behavior, and the nanoshell bandwidth increases due to nonlinear factors. In this range, nanoshell has three different ranges of motion, of which two are stable and the other unstable, and so the jump phenomenon and saddle-node bifurcation are visible in the behavior of the system. Also piezoelectric voltage influences on static deformation and resonant frequency but has no significant effect on nonlinear behavior and bandwidth and also system very sensitive to the damping coefficient and due to decrease of nano shell stiffness, natural frequency decreases. And also, increasing or decreasing of some parameters lead to increasing or decreasing the resonance amplitude, resonant frequency, the system’s instability, nonlinear behavior and bandwidth.
