Abstract:

The aim of this paper is to investigate geometrically nonlinear static analysis of axially functionally graded cantilever beam subjected to transversal non follower load. The considered problem is solved by finite element method with total Lagrangian kinematic approach. The material properties of the beam vary along the longitudinal direction according to the power law function. The finite element model of the beam is considered in the three dimensional continuum approximation for an eight-node quadratic element. The geometrically nonlinear problem is solved by Newton-Raphson iteration method. In the numerical results, the effects of the material distribution on the geometrically nonlinear static displacements of the axially functionally graded beam are investigated. Also, the differences between of material distributions are investigated in geometrically analysis.

Nonlinear Finite Element Analysis of Bending of Straight Beams Using hp-Spectral Approximations

Displacement finite element models of various beam theories have been developed using traditional finite element interpolations (i.e., Hermite cubic or equi-spaced Lagrange functions). Various finite element models of beams differ from each other in the choice of the interpolation functions used for the transverse deflection w, total rotation φ and/or shear strain γxz, or in the integral form u...

Vibration characteristics of axially loaded tapered Timoshenko beams made of functionally graded materials by the power series method

Abstract: In the present article, a semi-analytical technique to investigate free bending vibration behavior of axially functionally graded non-prismatic Timoshenko beam subjected to a point force at both ends is developed based on the power series expansions. The beam is assumed to be made of linear elastic and isotropic material with constant Poisson ratio. Material properties including the ...
