Free vibration and stability of tapered Euler–Bernoulli beams made of axially functionally graded materials

TLDR
In this paper, the free vibration and stability of axially functionally graded tapered Euler-Bernoulli beams were studied through solving the governing differential equations of motion. But, the convergence rate of the conventional differential transform method (DTM) does not necessarily converge to satisfactory results, and a new approach based on DTM called differential transform element method (DTEM) is introduced which considerably improves the convergence of the method.

Generating mechanism of mode localization for the beams and its application in the passive vibration control

TL;DR: In this paper, an axially functionally graded design method is proposed to adjust the configuration of mode localization for the structures, which can suppress the vibration of a certain span of the beam and enlarge the length of the controlled part.

Differential Quadrature Method in Computational Mechanics: A Review

TL;DR: The differential quadrature method (DQM) as discussed by the authors is a numerical solution technique for initial and/or boundary problems, which was developed by the late Richard Bellman and his associates in the early 70s.

A new beam finite element for the analysis of functionally graded materials

TL;DR: In this article, a beam element based on first-order shear deformation theory is developed to study the thermoelastic behavior of functionally graded beam structures, and the stiffness matrix has super-convergent property and the element is free of shear locking.

Free vibration characteristics of a functionally graded beam by finite element method

TL;DR: In this paper, the dynamic characteristics of functionally graded beam with material graduation in axially or transversally through the thickness based on the power law are presented. But the model is more effective for replacing the non-uniform geometrical beam with axially and transversely uniform geometrically graded beam.
