Nonlinear free vibration analysis of a rotating two-dimensional functionally graded porous micro-beam using isogeometric analysis

Abstract

Based on the Timoshenko beam theory, von Kármán geometric nonlinearity assumption and the modified couple stress theory, this paper presents linear and nonlinear free vibration analysis of rotating two-dimensional functionally graded micro-beam with even and uneven porous distributions. The material properties vary along the axial and thickness directions. The NURBS function is employed as the basic one to overcome the inherent difficulty of constructing higher order continuous displacement function for modified couple stress theory based finite element formulation. The validity of the present simulation is validated by comparing numerical results with those available literatures for rotating functionally graded micro-beams. Finally, the effects of several parameters such as porosity, power law index, material length scale parameter, rotational speed and hub radius on dimensionless frequencies and nonlinear frequency ratios are discussed.
