BENDING ANALYSIS OF FG POROUS BEAM BASED ON SIMPLE TIMOSHENKO BEAM ELEMENTS

ABSTRACT

In this document, the static bending of functionally graded porous (FGP) beam is studied under various boundary conditions and uniform load. Besides, finite element procedure is based on the
simple Timoshenko beam theory. The effects of material properties like two types of porosity on bending behaviors are also considered. The solutions achieved in this document are given and evaluated with other solutions in the cited papers to check the feasibility in deployment the formula and creating the Matlab program. Furthermore, this document helps researchers to get some information about the bending behaviors of the proposed structures
