This　research　is　focused　on　the　effects　of　nonlinear　terms　on　the　dynamical　behavior　of　graphene　reinforced　laminated　composite　plates.　Firstly,　the　governing　equations　of　the　graphene　reinforced　composite　thin　plate　subjected　to　transverse　excitations　are　derived　by　using　the　Hamilton＇s　principle　and　the　von　Karman　deformation　theory.　Then　numerical　method　is　applied　to　investigate　the　nonlinear　behaviors　of　graphene　reinforced　composite　plates.　Bifurcation　diagram,　waveform　and　phase　portrait　are　demonstrated　to　analyze　the　nonlinear　dynamics　of　the　graphene　reinforced　laminated　composite　plates.　Furthermore,　the　effects　of　nonlinear　terms　on　the　dynamical　behavior　are　discussed　in　detail,　where　both　the　stronger　and　weaker　nonlinear　characteristics　of　lower　modes　of　the　plate　are　presented.　Moreover,　some　interesting　phenomena　are　obtained　in　numerical　simulation.　(C)　2019　Elsevier　Inc.　All　rights　reserved.
