The equation of large deflection of functionally graded beam subjected to arbitrary loading condition is derived. In this work assumed that the elastic modulus varies by exponential and power function in longitudinal direction. The nonlinear derived equation has not exact solution so shooting method has been proposed to solve the nonlinear equation of large deflection. Results are validated with finite element solutions. The method will be useful toward the design of compliant mechanisms driven by smart actuators. Finally the effect of different elastic modulus functions and loading conditions are investigated and discussed.

This paper aims at providing a simplified analytical solution for functionally graded beam stress analysis and optimized material gradation on the beam deflection. The power-law (P-FGM) and exponential (E-FGM) material functions were considered for an exact solution of the normal and shear stress distributions across the beam thickness. Optimization of material function on the FGM beam deflection, which is new of its kind, was also investigated considering both simply supported and cantilever beams. It was observed that the non-dimensional normal stress and shear stress are independent of the elastic moduli values of the constituent materials but rather depends on both the ratio of the elastic moduli and the location across the beam thickness in the E-FGM material function model. This observation was first validated from available kinds of literature and through numerical simulation using ABAQUS and extended to the P-FGM stress analysis. The maximum deflection on the FGM beam occurred for a homogenous steel beam while the minimum deflection was observed on the beam with a P-FGM material function. The results of this work demonstrate that if properly designed and optimized, FGMs can provide an alternative material solution in structural applications.

In this study, glass-filled epoxy functionally graded material (FGM) was prepared by adopting the hand lay-up method. The vertical gravity casting was used to produce a continuous variation in elastic properties. A 30 % volume fraction of glass ingredients that have mean diameter 90 μm was spread in epoxy resin (ρ = 1050 kg/m3). The mechanical properties of FGM were evaluated according to ASTM D638. Experimental results showed that a gradually relationship between Young’s modulus and volume fraction of glass particles, where the value of Young’s modulus at high concentration of glass particles was greater than that at low concentration, while the value of Poisson’s ratio at high concentration of glass particles was lower than that at low concentration. The manufacture of this FG beam is particularly important and useful in order to benefit from it in the field of various fracture tests under dynamic or cyclic loads.

The objective of this paper is to investigate the large deflection of a slender functionally graded beam under the transverse loading. Firstly, by modeling the functionally graded beam as a layered structure with graded yield strength, a unified yield criterion for a functionally graded metallic beam is established. Based on the proposed yielding criteria, analytical solutions (AS) for the large deflections of fully clamped functionally graded beams subjected to transverse loading are formulated. Comparisons between the present solutions with numerical results are made and good agreements are found. The effects of gradient profile and gradient intensity factor on the large deflections of functionally graded beams are discussed in detail. The reliability of the present analytical model is demonstrated, and the larger the gradient variation ratio near the loading surface is, the more accurate the layer-graded beam model will be.
