An analytical method for free vibration analysis of functionally graded beams. Mater Des

TL;DR: In this article, a beam theory different from the traditional first-order shear deformation beam theory is used to analyze free vibration of functionally graded beams, where the beam properties are varied through the thickness following a simple power law distribution in terms of volume fraction of material constituents.

Bending, buckling and free vibration of laminated composite and sandwich beams: A critical review of literature

TL;DR: A critical review of literature on bending, buckling and free vibration analysis of shear deformable isotropic, laminated composite and sandwich beams based on equivalent single layer theories, layerwise theories, zig-zag theories and exact elasticity solution is presented in this paper.

Vibrations of straight and curved composite beams: A review

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review most of the research done in recent years (1989-2012) on the vibration analysis of composite beams, with emphasis given to the theory being applied (thin, thick, layerwise), methods for solving equations (finite element analysis, differential transform and others) experimental methods, smart beams (piezoelectric or shape memory), complicating effects in both material and structure, and other areas that have been considered in research.
