Abstract

ABSTRACTThe dynamic response of functionally graded (FG) beams in thermal environment subjected to moving load is investigated based on the first-order shear deformation theory (FSDT). The initial thermal stresses are determined by solving the thermoelastic equilibrium equations. The finite element method (FEM) is adopted to develop a solution procedure for FG beams with general loading and boundary conditions. The convergence behavior and accuracy of the method are shown through the different numerical examples. Finally, the influences of temperature rise, material graded index, moving load velocity, and boundary conditions on the dynamic behavior of FG beams in thermal environment is presented.
