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.

Simple formulas for the natural frequencies of non-uniform cables and beams

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the asymptotic development method to obtain approximate analytical expressions for the natural frequencies of non-uniform cables and beams, by manipulating the first-order terms, they obtained the mechanical properties (mass, stiffness, etc.) of the equivalent uniform cables and beam having the same (up to the first order) frequencies of the nonuniform one.

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.
