Static performance of functionally graded cantilever nanobeams exposed to lateral and axial loads from the end was examined by applying the Pseudospectral Chebyshev Method. A solution is given for bending analysis using Euler-Bernoulli beam theory. The nonlocal elasticity theory was first introduced by Eringen and is used to represent effect on a small scale. Using the aforementioned theory, the governing differential equations the phenomenon for functionally graded nanobeams are reproduced. It is supposed that the modulus of elasticity of the beam changes exponentially in the x-axis direction, except for the values taken as constant. The exponential change of material properties may not allow analytical problems to be solved with known methods. Therefore, numerical approach is inevitable for the solution of the problem.
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.
