Nonlinear vibration of a viscoelastic rectangular thick plate

In this paper , first, the equations of motion for an isotropic viscoelastic rectangular plate were derived, In this derivation, the effects of shear deformation and rotary inertia based on the third order shear deformation were considered. The kelvin-voigt stress-strain construction was used for the viscoelastic model.
