Simulation and modeling for stability analysis of functionally graded non-uniform pipes with porosity-dependent properties

Abstract
The present paper examines the stability analysis of the buckling differentiae of the small-scale, non-uniform
porosity-dependent functionally graded (PD-FG) tube. The high-order beam theory and nonlocal strain gradient theory are
operated for the mathematical modeling of nanotubes based on the Hamilton principle. In this paper, the external radius function
is non-uniform. In contrast, the internal radius is uniform, and the cross-section changes along the tube length due to these radius
functions based on the four types of useful mathematical functions. The PD-FG material distributions are varied in the radial
direction and made with ceramics and metals. The governing partial differential equations (PDEs) and associated boundary
conditions are solved via a numerical method for different boundary conditions. The received outcomes concerning different
presented parameters are valuable to the design and production of small-scale devices and intelligent structures.
