In this paper, we present new results of natural frequencies for the functionally graded beams based on Chebyshev collocation method and the third-order shear deformation theory (TSDT), without requiring any shear correction factors. The beams are assumed to be elastically supported by translational and rotational springs, or simply known as elastically restrained ends. The material compositions of the beams across the gradient direction are described by different mathematical models including the simple power law, exponential and Mori–Tanaka models, and their effects on the response of beams are analyzed. We first present the Chebyshev collocation formulation of the coupled differential equations of motion for free vibration of FGM beams considering different boundary conditions, and then verify the results obtained by the proposed approach against reference ones. A parametric study is also performed for parameters such as thickness, spring constant factor, material volume fraction index, etc. The present numerical results reveal that the proposed method can offer accurate frequency results for the FGM beams as compared with those available in the literature. The results also indicate that the spring constant factors have a significant effect on the frequencies of the beams.

In this work, an implicit algorithm is used for analyzing the free dynamic behavior of Functionally Graded Material (FGM) plates. The Third order Shear Deformation Theory (TSDT) is used to develop the proposed model. In this contribution, the formulation is written without any homogenization technique as the rule of mixture. The Hamilton principle is used to establish the resulting equations of motion. For spatial discretization based on Finite Element Method (FEM), a quadratic element with four and eight nodes is adopted using seven degrees of freedom per node. An implicit algorithm is used for solving the obtained problem. To study the accuracy and the performance of the proposed approach, we present comparisons with literature and laminate composite modeling results for vibration natural frequencies. Otherwise, we examine the influence of the exponent of the volume fraction which reacts the plates "P-FGM" and "S-FGM". In addition, we study the influence of the thickness on "E-FGM" plates.

The bending vibration behavior of a non-uniform axially functionally graded Euler-Bernoulli beam is investigated based on the Chebyshev collocation method. The cross-sectional and material properties of the beam are assumed to vary continuously across the axial direction. The Chebyshev differentiation matrices are used to reduce the ordinary differential equations into a set of algebraic equations to form the eigenvalue problem associated with the free vibration. Some calculated results are compared with numerical results in the published literature to validate the accuracy of the present model. A good agreement is observed. The effects of the taper ratio, volume fraction index, and restraint types on the natural frequency of axially functionally graded beams with non-uniform cross section are examined.

This study analyses the two-dimensional thermo-elastic response of functionally graded carbon nanotube-reinforced composite (FG-CNTRC) cylindrical pressure vessels, by applying the third-order shear deformation theory (TSDT). The effective properties of FG-CNTRC cylindrical pressure vessels are computed for different patterns of reinforcement, according to the rule of mixture. The governing equations of the problem are derived from the principle of virtual works and are solved as a classical eigenproblem under the assumption of clamped supported boundary conditions. A large parametric investigation aims at showing the influence of some meaningful parameters on the thermo-elastic response, such as the type of pattern, the volume fraction of CNTs, and the Pasternak coefficients related to the elastic foundation.

In the present article, according to the nonlocal elasticity theory within the framework of the third-order shear deformable plate assumption, the theoretical analysis of thermomechanical vibration response of magneto-electro-thermo-elastic nanoplate made of functionally graded materials resting on the visco-Pasternak medium is carried out. The simply supported magneto-electro-thermo-elastic nanoplate is supposed to subject to initial external electric, magnetic potentials, and temperature environment. The material characteristics of magneto-electro-thermo-elastic nanoplate are assumed to be variable continuously across the thickness direction based upon power law distribution. Hamilton’s principle is utilized to achieve the partial differential equations and corresponding boundary conditions. The equilibrium equations are solved analytically to determine the complex eigenfrequency using Navier’s approach which satisfies the simply supported boundary conditions. Numerical studies are performed to illustrate the dependency of the natural frequency of the system on the damping coefficient of the visco-Pasternak medium, nonlocal parameter, aspect ratio, temperature change, volume fraction index of functionally graded material, initial external electric voltage, initial external magnetic potential, and plate thickness. It is clearly indicated that these factors have highly significant impacts on the dynamic behavior of the proposed system.

The main purpose of this article is to present analytical solutions for bending, buckling and vibration analysis of cylindrical panel, which are composed of functionally graded materials (FGMs). Equations of motion are derived using Hamilton’s principle. The first-order shear deformation theory is used for developing Navier’s solutions of simply supported cylindrical panel. Comparison studies are presented to verify the validity of present solution. It is found that the presented results are close to those existing. The effect of volume fraction distributions, panel aspect ratio, and side-to-thickness ratio on the deflections, buckling loads and natural frequencies is also investigated.

In the present work, the free vibration of thin cylindrical shells with ring support made of functionally graded materials under various symmetrical boundary conditions is presented. Temperature and position dependent material properties are varied linearly through the thickness of the shell. The functionally graded cylindrical shell has ring support which is arbitrarily placed along the shell and imposed a zero lateral deflection. The third order shear deformation theory is employed to formulate the problem. The governing equations of motion are derived using the Hamilton’s principle. Results are presented on the frequency characteristics and influence of the boundary conditions and the locations of the ring support on the natural frequencies. The present analysis is validated by comparing the results with those available in the literature.

This paper studies the vibration behaviors of bidirectional functionally graded (BDFG) Timoshenko beams based on the Chebyshev collocation method. The material properties of the beam are assumed to vary simultaneously in the beam length and thickness directions. The Chebyshev differentiation matrices are used to reduce the ordinary differential equations into a set of algebraic equations to form the eigenvalue problem for free vibration analysis. To validate the accuracy of the proposed model, some calculated results are compared with those obtained by other investigators. Good agreement has been achieved. Then the effects of slenderness ratios, material distribution types, gradient indexes, and restraint types on the natural frequency of BDFG beams are examined. Through the parametric study, the influences of the various geometric and material parameters on the vibration characteristics of BDFG beams are evaluated.
