In this paper, the effect of different profile variations on vibrational properties of non-uniform beams made of graded porous materials is studied. Timoshenko beam theory is used to present the mathematical formulation of the problem including shear deformation, rotary inertia, non-uniformity of the cross-section, and graded porosity of the beam material. Three different variations of porosities through the thickness direction are introduced. The beam is assumed with the clamped condition at both ends. To obtain a numerical solution, finite element formulations of the governing equations are presented. The non-uniform beam is approximated by another beam consisting of n elements with piecewise constant thickness to keep the volume and hence the total mass unchanged for each element. The beam response has been calculated for the first three modes of vibration. In each case, the results for different types of thickness variation and porosity distribution are compared with those obtained for a beam with uniform thickness. The effects of non-uniformity, taper parameters, and porosity distribution on the frequencies and mode shapes are investigated. It is observed that a considerable change in frequencies and mode shapes can be achieved by selection of different thickness variation and porosity distribution.

Mode shapes of multiple cracked beam-like structures made of Functionally Graded Material (FGM) are analyzed by using the dynamic stiffness method. Governing equations in vibration theory of multiple cracked FGM beam are derived on the base of Timoshenko beam theory; power law variation of material; coupled spring model of crack and taking into account the actual position of neutral axis. A general solution of vibration in frequency domain is obtained and used for constructing dynamic stiffness matrix of the multiple cracked FGM Timoshenko beam element that provides an efficient method for modal analysis of multiple cracked FGM frame structures. The theoretical development is illustrated by numerical analysis of crack-induced change in mode shapes of multi-span continuous FGM beam.

Boundary Characteristic

The free transverse vibrations of thin nonhomogeneous rectangular plates of variable thickness have been studied using boundary characteristic orthogonal polynomials in the Rayleigh-Ritz method. Gram-Schmidt process has been used to generate these orthogonal polynomials in two variables. The thickness variation is bidirectional and is the cartesian product of linear variations along two concurrent edges of the plate. The nonhomogeneity of the plate is assumed to arise due to linear variations in Young's modulus and density of the plate material with the in-plane coordinates. Numerical results have been computed for four different combinations of clamped, simply supported and free edges. Effect of the nonhomogeneity and thickness variation with varying values of aspect ratio on the natural frequencies of vibration is illustrated for the first three modes of vibration. Three dimensional mode shapes for all the four boundary conditions have been presented. A comparison of results with those available in the literature has been made.

Plane Elasticity Theory

Exact natural frequencies of functionally graded beams are determined using plane elasticity theory. The analysis yields infinitely many frequencies. For verification purposes, a comparison with the existing beam theory results is performed and a close agreement is observed for slender members. The elasticity solutions are general in the sense that they are valid for slender members as well as short and thick structural elements. Both flexural and axial free vibration mode shapes are presented for top and bottom surfaces and the effect of the beam thickness is discussed. The exact results presented herein can be used as benchmarks for future research of free vibration behavior of short and thick functionally graded material beams.

The present work accounts Timoshenko beam theory followed by Ritz approximation and an iterative technique to deal nonlinear free vibration problems of cracked Functionally Graded Material (FGM) beams based on neutral surface location. Using neutral surface as a reference rather than the midsurface reduces the complexity of nonlinear problems. It is assumed that crack always remains open. Analysis is carried out for clamped-clamped and clamped-free boundary conditions. Nonlinear frequencies and mode shapes corresponding to first three mode of vibration are obtained for the first time for different crack parameters, amplitudes of vibration and material indexes. The accuracy of the present solution is verified by comparing some of the obtained results with existing solutions. It can be concluded that present results are not only accurate but the methodology is very simple and easy to perform.

Special Case

Two dimensional boundary characteristic orthonormal polynomials are used in the Ritz method for the vibration analysis of clamped and simply-supported circular plates of varying thickness. The thickness variation in the radial direction is linear whereas in the circumferential direction the thickness varies according to coskθ, wherekis an integer. In order to verify the validity, convergence and accuracy of the results, comparison studies are made against existing results for the special case of linearly tapered thickness plates. Variations in frequencies for the first six normal modes of vibration and mode shapes for various taper parameters are presented.

A constrained variation modeling method for free vibration analysis of rotating double tapered functionally graded beams with different shear deformation beam theories is proposed in this paper. The material properties of the beam are supposed to continuously vary in the width direction with power-law exponent for different indexes. The mathematical formulation is developed based on the geometrically exact beam theory for each beam segment, the admissible functions denoting motion quantities are then expressed by a series of Chebyshev orthogonal polynomials. The governing equations are eventually derived using the constrained variational method to involve the continuity conditions of adjacent segments. Different shear deformation beam theories have been incorporated in the formulations, and the nonlinear effect of bending–stretching coupling vibration together with the Coriolis effect is taken into account. Comparison of dimensionless natural frequencies is performed with the existing literature to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the proposed method. Comparative discussions are performed on the vibration behaviors of the double tapered rotating functionally graded beam with first-order shear deformation beam theory and other higher-order shear deformation beam theories. The effect of material property graduation, power-law index, rotation speed, hub radius, slenderness ratio, and taper ratios is scrutinized via parametric studies, respectively.

In this paper, the surface effect on the static bending behavior of functionally graded porous (FGP) nanobeams subjected to a concentrated transverse load is studied by using Reddy’s higher-order beam theory. Three types of porosity distributions are considered for the nanobeam, i.e. uniform porosity distribution, symmetric and asymmetric non-uniform porosity distributions. With the consideration of the surface effect, the nanobeams can be abstracted as a composite beam composed of a surface layer and a bulk volume. According to the generalized Young–Laplace equation, the normal stress discontinuity across a surface due to the effect of surface stress is taken into consideration. The analytical solutions of the static bending problem of FGP nanobeams are obtained for the beams with hinged-hinged, clamped-clamped and clamped-free boundary conditions. The effects of the residual surface stress, porosity distribution type, porosity coefficient and length-to-thickness ratio on the transverse displacement of the FGP beams are discussed.

Free axisymmetric vibrations of polar orthotropic annular plates of variable thickness resting on a Pasternak-type elastic foundation have been studied based on the classical plate theory. Hamilton’s energy principle has been used to derive the governing differential equation of motion. Frequency equations for an annular plate for two different combinations of edge conditions have been obtained employing Chebyshev collocation technique. Numerical results thus obtained have been presented in the form of tables and graphs. The effect of foundation parameter and thickness variation together with various plate parameters such as rigidity ratio, radius ratio, and taper parameter on natural frequencies has been investigated for the first three modes of vibration. Mode shapes for specified plates have been presented. A close agreement of results with those available in the literature shows the versatility of the present technique.

Presented herein is the buckling response of circular sandwich plates with a homogenous core of variable thickness and constant thickness functionally graded material (FGM) face sheets whose material properties are assumed to be graded in the thickness direction according to a simple power law. The plate is modeled using the first order shear deformation plate theory and subjected to a uniform radial compression. In order to determine the distribution of the prebuckling load along the radius, the membrane equation is solved using the shooting method. Subsequently, by employing the pseudospectral method that makes use of Chebyshev polynomials, the stability equations are solved numerically to evaluate the critical buckling load. Numerical solutions are presented for both clamped and simply supported plates and for linear and parabolic core thickness distributions. The results show that the buckling behavior is significantly influenced by the thickness variation profile, the aspect ratio, the volume fraction index, and the core-to-face sheet thickness ratio. Comparison studies demonstrate that the results obtained using the current method compare very well with those available in the literature.

Varying Thickness

The present paper investigates the free vibration analysis for functionally graded material plates of linearly varying thickness. A non-polynomial higher order shear deformation theory is used, which is based on inverse hyperbolic shape function for the tapered FGM plate. Three different types of material gradation laws, specifically: a power (P-FGM), exponential (E-FGM), and sigmoid law (S-FGM) are used to calculate the property variation in the thickness direction of FGM plate. The variational principle has been applied to derive the governing differential equation for the plates. Non-dimensional frequencies have been evaluated by considering the semi-analytical approach viz. Galerkin-Vlasov’s method. The accuracy of the preceding formulation has been validated through numerical examples consisting of constant thickness and tapered (variable thickness) plates. The findings obtained by this method are found to be in close agreement with the published results. Parametric studies are then explored for different geometric parameters like taper ratio and boundary conditions. It is deduced that the frequency parameter is maximum for S-FGM tapered plate as compared to E- and P-FGM tapered plate. Consequently, it is concluded that the S-FGM tapered plate is suitable for those engineering structures that are subjected to huge excitations to avoid resonance conditions. In addition, it is found that the taper ratio is significantly affected by the type of constraints on the edges of the tapered FGM plate. Some novel results for FGM plate with variable thickness are also computed that can be used as benchmark results for future reference.
