Free Vibration of Functionally Graded Rayleigh Beam

Abstract

In the present study the free vibration of Rayleigh beam composed of functionally graded materials (FGMs) is investigated. For this purpose, the equation of the motion of functionally graded (FG) beam derived according to Rayleigh beam theory. The material properties are assumed to vary continuously through the thickness of the beam according to the power-law form. Resulting equations are solved for simply supported boundary conditions. In order to validate the results, a comparisons is carried out with available results for homogeneous beam. The effects of varying material properties on the dimensionless free vibration frequency parameters are examined.
