“…Although the nonlinear transverse vibrations of axially moving beams and strings have been extensively investigated in the literature (Marynowski andKapitaniak, 2002, 2007;Marynowski, 2004;Sze et al, 2005;Ghayesh, 2009Ghayesh, , 2011aGhayesh, ,b, 2012aGhayesh and Khadem, 2007;Ding et al, 2011;Huang et al, 2011;Sahebkar et al, 2011;Amabili, 2012, 2013;Ghayesh et al, 2012c;Kazemirad et al, 2012), the number of studies regarding the nonlinear coupled transverse and longitudinal vibrations of such systems is rather limited (Thurman and Mote Jr, 1969;Riedel and Tan, 2002;Ding and Chen, 2010;Ghayesh, 2012c;Ghayesh et al, 2012a,d). In these problems, the two coupled partial differential equations of motion are solved together.…”
