“…Several studies are available in the literature to describe the vibration behavior of AFG non-prismatic beams using different numerical techniques, that is, finite element analysis (Shahba et al, 2011; Shahba and Rajasekaran, 2012), Rayleigh–Ritz method (Akgoz and Civalek, 2013), modified Chebyshev spectral method (Zhao et al, 2017), Galerkin method (Ghayesh, 2018a, 2018b, 2018c, 2019a, 2019b), asymptotic development method (Cao and Gao, 2019), isogeometric approach (Chen et al, 2019), Jacobi polynomial (Zhang et al, 2019), and variational iteration method (Chen et al, 2020). The vibration analysis of FGM beam with piezoelectric effect using the generalized differential quadrature (GDQ) method is available with Parashar and Sharma (2016), Sharma and Parashar (2016a, 2016b), and Sharma (2018, 2019, 2020), and vibration of FGM structures is available with Sharma et al (2020), Sharma and Singh (2021), Singh and Sharma (2019), and Sharma and Singh (2020). It is observed from the literature that in most of the articles pertaining to vibration analysis of AFG beam, the temperature is assumed to be varied in the thickness direction only.…”
