This work aims to study the vibration characteristics of the rotating functionally graded porous beam reinforced by graphene platelets. The beam is mounted and rotated around a hub with a constant velocity. The material properties vary along the thickness direction with two types of porosity distributions and two dispersion patterns of graphene platelet. The equations of motion based on the Timoshenko beam theory are obtained and solved using the Chebyshev-Ritz method. The effects of the parameters such as hub radius, rotating speed, weight fraction, porosity distribution, porosity coefficient, and dispersion model are presented. The present method results are also compared with numerical results available in the literature.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
