Abstract

The effect of temperature dependent material properties on the free vibration of FG porous beams is investigated in the present paper. A quasi-3D shear deformation solution is used involves only three unknown function. The mechanical properties which are considered to be temperature-dependent as well as the porosity distributions are assumed to gradually change along the thickness direction according to defined law. The beam is supposed to be simply supported and lying on variable elastic foundation. The differential equation system governing the free vibration behavior of porous beams is derived based on the Hamilton principle. Navier's method for simply supported systems is then used to determine and compute the frequencies of FG porous beam. The results of the present formulation are validated by comparing with those available literatures. Finally, the effects of several parameters such as porosity distribution and the parameters of variable elastic foundation on the free vibration behavior of temperature-dependent FG beams are presented and discussed in detail.
