Abstract

The large displacement behavior of a Functionally Graded (FG) beam under uniform thermal load is investigated numerically. Six different effects are taken into consideration when examining the large displacement behavior of the beam. These are the effects of temperature, material, geometry, slenderness, force, and boundary condition. The nonlinear numerical analysis is carried out by using the Simulation mode of SolidWorks, which is a finite element-based commercial program. As a result, the displacement of the end of the beam increase with increasing temperature, slenderness ratio, and force. However, it decreases with increase in the ratio of ceramic in Functionally Graded Material (FGM) and the width of the beam. Moreover, as expected, the maximum and minimum displacements are obtained in the beams with Clamped-Free and Clamped-Clamped boundary conditions, respectively.

A Numerical Study on the Large Displacement in Functionally Graded Beam under Thermal Effect

Abstract

The large displacement behavior of a Functionally Graded (FG) beam under uniform thermal load is investigated numerically. Six different effects are taken into consideration when examining the large displacement behavior of the beam. These are the effects of temperature, material, geometry, slenderness, force, and boundary conditions. The nonlinear numerical analysis is carried out by using the Simulation mode of SolidWorks, which is a finite element-based commercial program. It is obtained from the results that the displacement of the end of the beam increases with increasing temperature, slenderness ratio, and force. It is also found that it decreases with increase in the ratio of ceramic in Functionally Graded Material (FGM). Moreover, the displacement of the end of the beam decreases with increasing the width of the beam. Furthermore, as expected, the maximum and minimum displacements are obtained in the beams with Clamped-Free and Clamped-Clamped boundary conditions, respectively.
