In the current study, bending, buckling and vibration behaviours of functionally graded in depth direction non-uniform nanobeams are investigated in the framework of nonlocal strain gradient theory. Material variation is assumed through the thickness and modelled using exponential, sigmoid and power-law functions. Moreover, cross-sectional variation is also considered using exponential and power-law functions. Using these general non-uniformity and non-homogeneity in conjunction with nonlocal strain gradient theory, a general beam is modelled. For this general model, equations of motion are derived using Hamilton's principle and solved by using a novel technique in combining finite element method with Lagrangian interpolation technique, Gaussian quadrature method and Wilson's Lagrangian multiplier method. Mechanical behaviour of such structures is fully explained with parametric study for all three cases of bending, buckling and vibration response. It is shown that combination of material variation, non-uniformity and scale effects has a significant effect in changing the mechanical behaviour of such structures in both static and dynamic cases.

In this paper, to consider all surface effects including surface elasticity, surface stress, and surface density, on the nonlinear free vibration analysis of simply-supported functionally graded Euler-Bernoulli nanobeams using nonlocal elasticity theory, the balance conditions between FG nanobeam bulk and its surfaces are considered to be satisfied assuming a cubic variation for the component of the normal stress through the FG nanobeam thickness. The nonlinear governing equation includes the von Kármán geometric nonlinearity and the material properties change continuously through the thickness of the FG nanobeam according to a power-law distribution of the volume fraction of the constituents. The multiple scale method is employed as an analytical solution for the nonlinear governing equation to obtain the nonlinear natural frequencies of FG nanobeams. The effect of the gradient index, the nanobeam length, thickness to length ratio, mode number, amplitude of deflection to radius of gyration ratio and nonlocal parameter on the frequency ratios of FG nanobeams is investigated.
In this paper, free vibration characteristics of functionally graded (FG) nanobeams based on third-order shear deformation beam theory are investigated by presenting a Navier-type solution. Material properties of FG nanobeam are supposed to change continuously along the thickness according to the power-law form. The effect of small scale is considered based on nonlocal elasticity theory of Eringen. Through Hamilton's principle and third-order shear deformation beam theory, the nonlocal governing equations are derived and they are solved applying analytical solution. According to the numerical results, it is revealed that the proposed modeling can provide accurate frequency results for FG nanobeams as compared to some cases in the literature. The numerical investigations are presented to investigate the effect of the several parameters such as material distribution profile, small-scale effects, slenderness ratio and mode number on vibrational response of the FG nanobeams in detail. It is concluded that various factors such as nonlocal parameter and gradient index play notable roles in vibrational response of FG nanobeams.
Nonlinear free vibration of size-dependent functionally graded microbeams
Nonlinear free vibration of microbeams made of functionally graded materials (FGMs) is investigated in this paper based on the modified couple stress theory and von Kármán geometric nonlinearity. The non-classical beam model is developed within the framework of Timoshenko beam theory which contains a material length scale parameter related to the material microstructures. The material properties of FGMs are assumed to be graded in the thickness direction according to the power law function and are determined by Mori-Tanaka homogenization technique. The higher-order nonlinear governing equations and boundary conditions are derived by using the Hamilton principle. A numerical method that makes use of the differential quadrature method together with an iterative algorithm is employed to determine the nonlinear vibration frequencies of the FGM microbeams with different boundary conditions. The influences of the length scale parameter, material property gradient index, slenderness ratio, and end supports on the nonlinear free vibration characteristics of the FGM microbeams are discussed in detail. It is found that both the linear and nonlinear frequencies increase significantly when the thickness of the FGM microbeam is comparable to the material length scale parameter.

In this work, the size-dependent buckling behavior of functionally graded (FG) nanobeams is investigated on the basis of the nonlocal continuum model. The material properties of FG nanobeams are assumed to vary through the thickness according to the power law. In addition, Poisson's ratio is assumed constant in the current model. The nanobeams is modelled according to the new first order shear beam theory with small deformation and the equilibrium equations are derived using the Hamilton's principle. The Naviertype solution is developed for simply-supported boundary conditions, and exact formulas are proposed for the buckling load. The effects of nonlocal parameter, aspect ratio, various material compositions on the stability responses of the FG nanobeams are discussed.

This paper represented a numerical technique for discovering the vibrational behavior of a two-directional FGM (2-FGM) nanobeam exposed to thermal load for the first time. Mechanical attributes of two-directional FGM (2-FGM) nanobeam are changed along the thickness and length directions of nanobeam. The nonlocal Eringen parameter is taken into the nonlocal elasticity theory (NET). Uniform temperature rise (UTR), linear temperature rise (LTR), non-linear temperature rise (NLTR) and sinusoidal temperature rise (STR) during the thickness and length directions of nanobeam is analyzed. Third-order shear deformation theory (TSDT) is used to derive the governing equations of motion and associated boundary conditions of the two-directional FGM (2-FGM) nanobeam via Hamilton’s principle. The differential quadrature method (DQM) is employed to achieve the natural frequency of two-directional FGM (2-FGM) nanobeam. A parametric study is led to assess the efficacy of coefficients of two-direction...

This paper presents a study of the free vibration response of a nonlocal nonlinear functionally graded (FG) EulerBernoulli nanobeam resting on a nonlinear elastic foundation. A power-law distribution is used to describe the material distribution along the thickness of the beam. Eringen's nonlocal elasticity model with a material length scale is adopted to account for material behavior at the nano-scale along with a modied version of the von Kármán geometric nonlinearity that in turn accounts for moderate rotations. The derived equation of motion is solved using the well-known Dierential Quadrature Method (DQM) in addition to the more numerically stable Locally adaptive Dierential Quadrature Method (LaDQM). The obtained nonlocal nonlinear frequencies of the nanobeam are rst validated based on published analytical results that use linear mode shapes. The use of LaDQM is helpful in assessing the eect of the nonlinearities on the modes shapes which in turn was used to explain the discrepancy between the numerical and analytical results. This study aims to investigate the eects of the nonlocal parameter, and power-law index as well as linear and the nonlinear stinesses of the elastic foundation on the nonlinear fundamental frequency of the nanobeam for the selected boundary conditions.

This paper addresses theoretically the bending and buckling behaviors of size-dependent nanobeams made of functionally graded materials (FGMs) including the thickness stretching effect. The size-dependent FGM nanobeam is investigated on the basis of the nonlocal continuum model. The nonlocal elastic behavior is described by the differential constitutive model of Eringen, which enables the present model to become effective in the analysis and design of nanostructures. The present model incorporates the length scale parameter (nonlocal parameter) which can capture the small scale effect, and furthermore accounts for both shear deformation and thickness stretching effects by virtue of a sinusoidal variation of all displacements through the thickness without using shear correction factor. The material properties of FGM nanobeams are assumed to vary through the thickness according to a power law. The governing equations and the related boundary conditions are derived using the principal of minimum total potential energy. A Navier-type solution is developed for simply-supported boundary conditions, and exact expressions are proposed for the deflections and the buckling load. The effects of nonlocal parameter, aspect ratio and various material compositions on the static and stability responses of the FGM nanobeam are discussed in detail. The study is relevant to nanotechnology deployment in for example aircraft structures.

Vibrations of micro/nanobeams that are subjected to initial stresses due to mismatch between different materials or thermal stresses are important in some devices. The present study is an attempt to present nonlinear free vibration of simply supported size-dependent functionally graded (FG) nanobeams resting on elastic foundation and under precompressive axial force. It is assumed that the material properties of FG materials are graded in the thickness direction. The partial differential equation of motion, which is simplified into an ordinary differential equation using the Galerkin method, is derived based on Euler-Bernoulli beam theory, von Karman geometric nonlinearity, and Eringen’s nonlocal elasticity theory. The final ordinary differential equation is solved using the variational iteration method. The effects of geometrical parameters, small-scale parameter, elastic coefficient of foundation, precompressive axial force, and neutral axis location on dimensionless nonlinear nat...

In the present study the free vibration analysis of the functionally graded rectangular nanoplates is investigated. The nonlocal elasticity theory based on the exponential shear deformation theory has been used to obtain the natural frequencies of the nanoplate. In exponential shear deformation theory an exponential functions are used in terms of thickness coordinate to include the effect of transverse shear deformation and rotary inertia. The nonlocal elasticity theory is employed to investigate the effect of the small scale on the natural frequency of the functionally graded rectangular nanoplate. The govering equations and the corresponding boundary conditions are derived by implementing Hamilton’s principle. To show the accuracy of the formulations, the present results in specific cases are compared with available results in the literature and a good agreement is seen. Finally, the effect of the various parameters such as the nonlocal parameter, the power law indexes, the aspect...
