Farzad Ebrahimi and Mohammad Reza Barati

Abstract

This article investigates vibration behavior of magneto-electro-elastic functionally graded (MEE-FG) nanobeams embedded in two-parameter elastic foundation using a third-order parabolic shear deformation beam theory. Material properties of MEE-FG nanobeam are supposed to be variable throughout the thickness based on power-law model. Based on Eringen's nonlocal elasticity theory which captures the small size effects and using the Hamilton

Key Words

magneto-electro-elastic FG nanobeam; free vibration; nonlocal elasticity theory; higher order beam theory
