Abstract

This paper deals with the stochastic nonlinear free vibration response of functionally graded materials (FGMs) beam subjected to thermal loadings with uncertain material properties subjected to uniform and nonuniform temperature changes with temperature independent (TID) and dependent (TD) material properties. System properties such as material properties of each constituents material and volume fraction index are taken as independent random input variables. The basic formulation is based on higher order shear deformation theory (HSDT) with von-Karman nonlinear strains using modified C0 continuity. A direct iterative based nonlinear finite element method in conjunction with first order perturbation technique (FOPT) is used for FGMs beam to compute the second order statistics (mean and coefficient of variation) of the nonlinear fundamental frequency. The present outlined approach has been validated with the results available in literatures and independent Monte Carlo simulation (MCS).
