Abstract In this work, buckling and vibration characteristics of two-dimensional functionally graded (FG) nanobeam of nonuniform thickness subjected to in-plane and thermal loads have been analyzed within the frame work of Timoshenko beam theory. The beam is tapered by linear variation in thickness along the length. The temperature-dependent material properties of the beam are varying along thickness and length as per a power-law distribution and exponential function, respectively. The analysis has been presented using Eringen’s nonlocal theory to incorporate the size effect. Hamilton’s energy principle has been used to formulate the governing equations of motion. These resulting equations have been solved via generalized differential quadrature method (GDQM) for three combinations of clamped and simply supported boundary conditions. The effect of in-plane load together with temperature variation, nonuniformity parameter, gradient indices, nonlocal parameter, and slenderness ratio on the natural frequencies is illustrated for the first three modes of vibration. The critical buckling loads in compression have been computed by putting the frequencies equal to zero. A significant contribution of in-plane load on mechanical behavior of two-directional functionally graded nanobeam with nonuniform cross section has been noticed. Results are in good accordance.

The free vibration of functionally graded (FG) beams with various boundary conditions resting on a two-parameter elastic foundation in the thermal environment is studied using the third-order shear deformation beam theory. The material properties are temperature-dependent and vary continuously through the thickness direction of the beam, based on a power-law distribution in terms of the volume fraction of the material constituents. In order to discretize the governing equations, the differential quadrature method (DQM) in conjunction with the Hamilton’s principle is adopted. The convergence of the method is demonstrated. In order to validate the results, comparisons are made with solutions available for the isotropic and FG beams. Through a comprehensive parametric study, the effect of various parameters involved on the FG beam was studied. It is concluded that the uniform temperature rise has more significant effect on the frequency parameters than the nonuniform case.

This work presents a finite-element-based numerical formulation to evaluate the nonlinear deflections of magneto-electro-elastic sandwich skew plates with a viscoelastic core and functionally graded carbon nanotube-reinforced magneto-electro-elastic face sheets. Meanwhile, the proposed formulation accommodates the geometrical skewness as well. The magneto-electro-elastic sandwich skew plate is operated in the thermal environment and subjected to various multiphysics loads, including electric and magnetic loads. The viscoelastic core is modelled via the complex modulus approach. Two different forms of viscoelastic cores, such as Dyad 606 and EC 2216, are considered in this study. Also, different thickness configurations of core and facing arrangements are taken into account. The plate kinematics is presumed through higher-order shear deformation theory, and von Karman's nonlinear strain displacement relations are incorporated. The global equations of motion are arrived at through the total potential energy principle and solved via the direct iterative method. Special attention is paid to assessing the influence of pyroeffects, coupling fields and electromagnetic boundary conditions on the nonlinear deflections of magneto-electro-elastic sandwich plates working in the thermal environment and subjected to electromagnetic loads, which is the first of its kind. Also, parametric studies dealing with the skew angles, carbon nanotube distributions and volume fractions, thickness ratio, and aspect ratio have been discussed. The results of this work are believed to be unique and serve as a guide for the design engineers towards developing sophisticated smart structures for various engineering applications.

AbstractThe present paper examines the thermal buckling of nonlocal magneto-electro-thermo-elastic functionally graded (METE-FG) beams under various types of thermal loading namely uniform, linear and sinusoidal temperature rise and also heat conduction. The material properties of nanobeam are graded in the thickness direction according to the power-law distribution. Based on a higher order beam theory as well as Hamilton's principle, nonlocal governing equations for METE-FG nanobeam are derived and are solved using Navier type method. The small size effect is captured using Eringen's nonlocal elasticity theory. The most beneficial feature of the present beam model is to provide a parabolic variation of the transverse shear strains across the thickness direction and satisfies the zero traction boundary conditions on the top and bottom surfaces of the beam without using shear correction factors. Various numerical examples are presented investigating the influences of thermo-mechanical loadings, magnetic potential, external electric voltage, power-law index, nonlocal parameter and slenderness ratio on thermal buckling behavior of nanobeams made of METE-FG materials.

In this paper, the nonlinear dynamics of a simply supported functionally graded materials (FGM) conical panel with different forms of initial imperfections is investigated. The conical panel is subjected to the simple harmonic excitation along the radial direction and the parametric excitation in the meridian direction. The small initial geometric imperfection of the conical panel is expressed by the form of the Cosine functions. According to a power-law distribution, the effective material properties are assumed to be graded along the thickness direction. Based on the first-order shear deformation theory and von Karman type nonlinear geometric relationship, the nonlinear equations of motion are established by using the Hamilton principle. The nonlinear partial differential governing equations are truncated by Galerkin’s method to obtain the ordinary differential equations along the radial displacement. The effects of imperfection types, half-wave numbers and amplitudes on the dynamic behaviors are studied by numerical simulation. Maximum Lyapunov exponents, bifurcation diagrams, time histories and phase portraits are obtained to show the dynamic response.

This work is aimed to present analysis on the thermal vibrational behavior of two-dimensional functionally graded porous microbeams based on Timoshenko beam theory. According to the power law function, the material composition and so the material properties are varying along thickness and axis of the microbeam. The governing equations are derived on the basis of the couple stress theory and the generalized differential quadrature method is used to solve the equations. The temperature gradient is considered to be uniform and nonuniform across the thickness of the microbeam. The results are presented to show the effect of temperature change, porosity, functionally graded and axially functionally graded power indexes and also micro-scale parameter on the vibration of the microbeam.

In this paper, an analytical investigation intended to determine the flutter margin of supersonic functionally graded panels is carried out. For this purpose, piston theory aerodynamics has been employed to model quasi-steady aerodynamic loading. The material properties of the plate are assumed to be graded continuously across the panel thickness. The variation of temperature-dependent thermoelastic properties follows a simple power-law distribution in terms of the volume fraction of the constituent materials. The effects of compressive in-plane loads and static pressure differential are studied. Both uniform and through the thickness nonlinear temperature distributions are also considered. Hamilton’s principle is used to determine the coupled partial differential equations of motion. Using Galerkin’s method, the derived equations are transformed into a set of coupled ordinary differential equations, and then solved by numerical time integration. Some examples comparing the flutter margin of FG panels with that of plates made of pure metals and pure ceramics are presented. The results of the present study are compared with those of the previous works, where finite element method was used. It is shown that the use of functionally graded materials can yield an increase or decrease of the aeroelastic stability in the supersonic flow for different regions.

This paper presents the analyses of free vibration and buckling of functionally graded (FG) nanoplates in thermal environment by using a new quasi-3D nonlocal hyperbolic plate theory in which both shear and normal strains are included. The nonlocal equations of motion for the present problem are derived from Hamilton’s principle. For simply-supported boundary conditions, Navier’s approach is utilized to solve the motion equations. Eringen’s nonlocal theory is employed to capture the effect of the nonlocal parameter on natural frequency and buckling of the FGM nanoplates. Numerical results of the present formulation are compared with those predicted by other theories available in the open literature to explain the accuracy of the suggested theory that contains the shear deformation and thickness stretching. Other numerical examples are also presented to show the influences of the nonlocal coefficient, power law index and geometrical parameters on the vibration and buckling load of FGM nanoplates.

This work deals with the size-dependent buckling response of functionally graded carbon nanotube-reinforced composite (FG-CNTRC) (FG-CNTRC) curved beams based on a higher-order shear deformation beam theory in conjunction with the Eringen Nonlocal Differential Model (ENDM). The material properties were estimated using the rule of mixtures. The Hamiltonian principle was employed to derive the governing equations of the problem which were, in turn, solved via the Galerkin method to obtain the critical buckling load of FG-CNTRC curved beams with different boundary conditions. A detailed parametric study was carried out to investigate the influence of the nonlocal parameter, CNTs volume fraction, opening angle, slenderness ratio, and boundary conditions on the mechanical buckling characteristics of FG-CNTRC curved beams. A large parametric investigation was performed on the mechanical buckling behavior of FG-CNTRC curved beams, which included different CNT distribution schemes, as useful for design purposes in many practical engineering applications.

This article investigates vibration behavior of magneto-electro-elastic functionally graded nanobeams embedded in two-parameter elastic foundation using a third-order parabolic shear deformation beam theory. Material properties of magneto-electro-elastic functionally graded nanobeam are supposed to be variable throughout the thickness based on power-law model. Based on Eringen’s nonlocal elasticity theory which captures the small size effects and using Hamilton’s principle, the nonlocal governing equations of motions are derived and then solved analytically. Then, the influences of elastic foundation, magnetic potential, external electric voltage, nonlocal parameter, power-law index, and slenderness ratio on the frequencies of the embedded magneto-electro-elastic functionally graded nanobeams are studied.

Free vibration of two-directional functionally graded material (2-D FGM) beams is studied by the finite element method (FEM). The material properties are assumed to be graded in both the thickness and longitudinal directions by a power-law distribution. Equations of motion based on Timoshenko beam theory are derived from Hamilton's principle. A higher-order beam element using hierarchical functions to interpolate the displacements and rotation is formulated and employed in the analysis. In order to improve the efficiency of the element, the shear strain is constrained to constant. Validation of the derived element is confirmed by comparing the natural frequencies obtained in the present paper with the data available in the literature. Numerical investigations show that the proposed beam element is efficient, and it is capable to give accurate frequencies by a small number of elements. The effects of the material composition and aspect ratio on the vibration characteristics of the beams are examined in detail and highlighted.
