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.

On the study of element modal strain energy sensitivity for damage detection of functionally graded beams

TL;DR: In this paper, a modeling framework based on element modal strain energy sensitivity is developed for identifying damage of functionally graded beams, which can give a valid way to accurately detect the damage of beam-like structures, also has excellent resistance to measurement noise.

Free high-frequency vibrations of nonlocally elastic beam with varying cross-section area

TL;DR: In this article, the boundary value problem is solved in the form of superposition of the outer expansion and edge effect integrals with high variability along the beam axis, and a clamped nanobeam with a shape matching to the shape of a slab waveguide in a photonic crystal beam laser is considered.

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.
