Abstract
This work presents a free vibration analysis of functionally graded beams by employing an original high order shear deformation theory (HSDBT). This theory use only three unknowns, but it satisfies the stress free boundary conditions on the top and bottom surfaces of the beam without requiring any shear correction factors. The mechanical properties of the beam are assumed to vary continuously in the thickness direction by a simple power-law distribution in terms of the volume fractions of the constituents. In order to investigate the free vibration response, the equations of motion for the dynamic analysis are determined via the Hamilton
