An Efficient Shear Deformation Beam Theory Based on Neutral Surface Position for Bending and Free Vibration of Functionally Graded Beams^#

In this article, an efficient shear deformation beam theory based on neutral surface position is developed for bending and frees vibration analysis of functionally graded beams. The theory accounts for hyperbolic distribution of the transverse shear strains and satisfies the zero traction boundary c... View More
