Abstract

This article presents a torsional analysis of solid elliptical, hollow circular, and actual bone sections of orthotropic and functionally graded material. The formulation of the governing equation is done using the Saint-Venant torsion theory. A classical power law is considered for the modelling of functionally graded material. Five different radial basis functions-based meshless methods are used for the discretization of the governing differential equations. MATLAB code is developed to solve the discretized partial differential equations. A convergence and validation study has been carried out to demonstrate the effectiveness and accuracy of the present method. Numerical examples for torsional rigidity and shear stresses are presented for circular, elliptical, and bone-shaped irregular sections made up of orthotropic and functionally graded materials. Finally, the proposed radial basis function-based meshless method is applied to the modelling and torsional analysis of an actual bone cross-section.
