Functionally graded materials (FGMs) are novel materials whose properties change
gradually with respect to their dimensions. It is the advanced development of formerly used …

Epoxy syntactic foam (ESF) materials are widely used in marine detection systems, deep
sea diving equipment, offshore oil exploration and other deep sea development and …

Transient responses and natural frequencies of sandwich beams with inhomogeneous
functionally graded (FG) core are investigated. To serve this purpose, we propose a novel …

This paper formulates an efficient third-order shear deformation beam element for free
vibration and buckling analysis of bidirectional functionally graded sandwich (BFGSW) …

A mixed method is presented to study the dynamic behavior of functionally graded (FG)
beams subjected to moving loads. The theoretical formulations are based on Euler …

Abstract The Carrera Unified Formulation (CUF) is used to perform free-vibrational analyses
of functionally graded (FG) structures. CUF is a hierarchical formulation for obtaining refined …

In this paper, a semi-analytical method is described and applied to investigate the free
vibration of the functionally graded (FG) sandwich doubly-curved panels and shells of …

In this paper, a new semi-analytical approach based on the scaled boundary finite element
method (SBFEM) is proposed to solve buckling problem of functionally gradient material …

Dynamic analysis of an inclined sandwich beam under a moving mass is presented on the
basis of a third-order shear deformation theory. The core of the sandwich beam is …

In this present study, Chebyshev collocation method is utilized to solve buckling and
vibration problems of functionally graded (FG) sandwich beams resting on two-parameter …
