Abstract

The present study is devoted to analysis of neutral axis effect on fundamental frequency of functionally graded Euler-Bernoulli beams with temperature-dependent properties under nonlinear temperature rise distribution. First, a formula for exact position of the neutral axis in the beams is derived for general nonlinear temperature distribution and power law of material gradation. Then, the dislocation of the neutral axis from the central one is examined along volume fraction index and various types of the temperature distribution. Finally, the effect of exact neutral axis position on fundamental frequency is investigated to reveal when the neutral axis position and nonlinear temperature distribution should be considered in vibration analysis of the beams. Numerical analysis is conducted for illustration of the proposed theoretical development.
