Three Kinds օf Porosity օn Functionally Graded Porous Beams

Abstract

In this paper, the effects of three types of porosity on bending behavior of functionally graded porous (FGP) beams are studied. The finite element procedure is established and based on the simple Timoshenko beam theory. The results achieved in this paper are presented and compared with other results in the references to verify the feasibility of implementing the formula and writing the Matlab code. On the other hand, this paper can help researchers to have an overview of the bending behavior of the functionally graded porous beams.
