Surface effect on vibration characteristics of bi-directional functionally graded nanobeam using Eringen’s nonlocal theory

Abstract

A nonlocal model capturing the surface and size effects has been proposed to investigate the vibration behavior of bi-directional functionally graded nanobeam. The material properties of nanobeam are assumed to vary as per the power-law distribution in both the thickness and length directions. For the analysis, surface and size effects have been incorporated by employing the Gurtin-Murdoch surface theory and Eringen's nonlocal theory, respectively. Using Hamilton's principle, the governing equation of motion and corresponding boundary conditions have been derived based on the Euler-Bernoulli beam theory. The resulting differential equations have been solved for frequencies by implementing the differential quadrature method. The effect of considering the beam with surface layers and varying values of other parameters on the frequency parameter has been discussed. The results have been verified with the published literature. It is remarkable to report that the surface effect plays an important role in the case of bi-directional functionally graded material.

Theoretical prediction of proteins network-induced nonlocal response in molecules-resonator biosensor with hydrogen bonds including van der waals interactions

“…Since researchers have adopted this theory, numerous investigations have widely confirmed its effectiveness in computing the induced behavioral shift due to the effect of small sizes for components with nanometric dimensions [33]. Presently, analyses have applied the nonlocal approach to various types of materials [34,35] to determine both linear [36] and nonlinear [33] vibrations for uniform or nonuniform [37,38] cross-sections. Ghorbanpour Arani et al [39] concluded that the shift in local behavior with respect to nonlocal behavior increases according to a parametric function in relation to the wave number.…”

Investigating forced vibration of an intelligent sandwich plate consisting of a metal foam core, stiff nanocomposite layers and active piezomagnetic face-sheets exposed to electro-magnetic potentials

“…In recent years, FG materials have been employed extensively as the face sheets of sandwich structures since their great strength and toughness allow them to tolerate significant mechanical and thermal loads while still maintaining a long operating life, a quality that is not present in other materials. These materials can be created in two ways: one is to add nanofillers in the thickness direction of a structure through FG patterns, and the other way is to utilize an FG function to relate two different materials (typically metal and ceramic) to each other in the top and bottom surfaces of a structure [11][12][13]. In this regard, some analytical research concerning the static and dynamic behavior of sandwich structures containing FG metal-ceramic layers will be surveyed in the following.…”

Nonlinear dynamic buckling and vibration of thermally post-buckled temperature-dependent FG porous nanobeams based on the nonlocal theory

“…Also, Jalaei et al [74] contributed to the field by investigating the linear dynamic instability of simplysupported FG nanobeams under axial excitation load applying nonlocal strain gradient theory. In another investigation, Dangi and Lal [75] analyzed the vibrational response of the bi-directional FG nanobeams by using the differential quadrature method. Furthermore, in the scope of the plate structures, the effect of spatial variation of the nonlocal parameter on the vibrational behavior of the graded sandwich rectangular nanoplates was reported in the research of Van Vinh and Tounsi [76] employing the modified nonlocal theory.…”
