description This paper presents a simple and effective approach based on the Haar wavelet discretization method (HWDM) for the nonlinear vibration analysis of carbon nanotube-reinforced composite (CNTRC) beams resting on a nonlinear elastic foundation in a thermal environment. Material properties are assumed to be functionally graded (FG) in the thickness direction and temperature-dependent and are evaluated through the extended rule of mixture. Based on the first-order shear deformation beam theory in conjunction with the von Kármán nonlinearity, the nonlinear governing equations of CNTRC beams on nonlinear elastic foundations are derived as well as the related boundary conditions. Moreover, the initial thermal stress due to uniform temperature rise is considered in this study. To evaluate the nonlinear natural frequencies, the obtained equations are discretized into a set of nonlinear algebraic equations through HWDM and then the direct iteration technique is employed to solve the resulting algebraic equations. The convergence and comparison studies are carried out, and the results indicate that the numerical rate of convergence of the proposed method is in agreement with the convergence theorem, and good accuracy of the present results is observed. Studies on the effects of different parameters such as CNT volume fraction, distribution type of CNTs, foundation stiffness coefficients, boundary condition, slenderness ratio, temperature rise, and initial thermal stress on the linear frequencies and the nonlinear frequency ratios are also reported. This study offers an insight into the vibration behaviors of CNTRC beams resting on nonlinear elastic foundation subjected to the uniform temperature rise.
