Bending and wave propagation analysis of axially functionally graded beams based on a reformulated strain gradient elasticity theory

Abstract

Abstract: A new size-dependent axially functionally graded (AFG) micro-beam model is established with the application of a reformulated strain gradient elasticity theory (RSGET). The new micro-beam model incorporates the strain gradient, velocity gradient, and couple stress effects, and accounts for the material variation along the axial direction of the two-component functionally graded beam. The governing equations and complete boundary conditions of the AFG beam are derived based on Hamilton's principle. The correctness of the current model is verified by comparing the static behavior results of the current model and the finite element model (FEM) at the micro-scale. The influence of material inhomogeneity and size effect on the static and dynamic responses of the AFG beam is studied. The numerical results show that the static and vibration responses predicted by the newly developed model are different from those based on the classical model at the micro-scale. The new model can be applied not only in the optimization of micro acoustic wave devices but also in the design of AFG micro-sensors and micro-actuators.

Key words: Timoshenko beam theory, reformulated strain gradient elastic theory (RSGET), axially functionally graded (AFG) material, Hamilton's principle
