We analytically investigate the nonlinear response of a damped doubly clamped nanomechanical beam under static longitudinal compression which is excited to transverse vibrations. Starting from a continuous elasticity model for the beam, we consider the dynamics of the beam close to the Euler buckling instability. There, the fundamental transverse mode dominates and a quantum mechanical time-dependent effective single particle Hamiltonian for its amplitude can be derived. In addition, we include the influence of a dissipative Ohmic or super-Ohmic environment. In the rotating frame, a Markovian master equation is derived which includes also the effect of the time-dependent driving in a non-trivial way. The quasienergies of the pure system show multiple avoided level crossings corresponding to multiphonon transitions in the resonator. Around the resonances, the master equation is solved analytically using Van Vleck perturbation theory. Their lineshapes are calculated resulting in simple expressions. We find the general solution for the multiple multiphonon resonances and, most interestingly, a bath-induced transition from a resonant to an antiresonant behavior of the nonlinear response.
