摘要

There are many studies in the literature that examine functionally graded material (FGM) structures without accounting for their bending in the pre-buckling stage. On the other hand, a few studies have shown that FGM structures start bending immediately under in-plane loads rather than bifurcation buckling. The deformation of functionally graded beams under in-plane loading beams was examined in order to contribute to clarifying this issue. Both linear and geometric nonlinear analyses were carried out for different boundary conditions based on classical Euler-Bernoulli beam theory. According to the parametric analysis, simple-simple, clamped-simple, and clamped-free beams exhibit direct bending behavior instead of buckling. The effects of both compressive and tensile-type in-plane forces were examined. The present formulation can also be used for unsymmetrically laminated composite beams.
