Abstract
A refined hyperbolic shear deformation theory is presented to analyze the mechanical behavior of isotropic and sandwich functionally graded material (FGM) beams under various boundary conditions. The material properties are considered to be isotropic at each point and change across the thickness direction. The volume fraction gradation follows a power law distribution with respect to the FGM core or skins of the beam. The solution is attained by minimizing the total potential energy. This recent theory is a new type of third-order shear deformation theory that includes undetermined integral variables. The recent theory describes the variation of transverse shear strains throughout the thickness of a beam. It shows how these strains satisfy the zero traction boundary conditions on the top and bottom surfaces, all without the need for shear correction factors. An analytical solution based on trigonometric series is developed to solve the problem while satisfying various boundary conditions. Comparative studies are conducted to validate the accuracy and efficiency of this method. The current model can accurately predict the static responses of functionally graded isotropic and sandwich beams with arbitrary boundary conditions.

1 Introduction
The need for enhanced structural efficiency in various engineering disciplines has prompted the creation of a novel category of materials called functionally graded materials (FGMs) [1,2,3]. FGMs are composites whose material properties change gradually over one or more directions. This is accomplished by adjusting the volume fraction along the thickness direction and blending two different materials [4]. This continuously changing composition eliminates interface issues, resulting in smooth stress distributions. FGMs are now widely used as structural elements in various applications. The FGM concept has applications in several engineering fields such as aerospace, civil engineering, nuclear, automotive, energy, and biomaterials [4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16].
In recent years, much research has been conducted to predict the structural responses of FG beams accurately. The three basic categories for categorizing beam problems are beam theory and solution strategies. The three types of solution techniques are analytical solutions, elasticity solutions, and numerical solutions. The availability of exact elasticity solutions is crucial for researchers since they are used as a standard for comparing solutions derived from approximate beam theories. However, due to the amount of difficulty and the computer component required, relatively few researchers have made contributions to obtaining precise elasticity answers for the investigation of the behavior of FG beams [17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26]. Exact elasticity solutions are actually computationally time-consuming, analytically challenging, and impractical for real-world issues. Hence, approximate one- and two-dimensional theories are derived by applying specific kinematic assumptions. The beam theory consists of classical beam theory (CBT), first-order beam theory (FBT), and higher-order theory (HBT). It is important to note that CBT is only appropriate for thin beams because it neglects the shear effect [27,28,29,30,31,32]. FBT yields acceptable results but relies on the shear correction factor, which is difficult to establish because of its dependence on many parameters. Consequently, this theory has been increasingly utilized to predict responses of FG beams [33,34,35,36,37,38]. Higher-order shear deformation theories (HSDTs) have been developed to account for shear deformation effects. These theories are based on a nonlinear variation across the thickness of the in-plane displacements. The HSDTs ensure that there are zero shear stress conditions at the top and bottom surfaces of the beams, eliminating the need for a shear correction factor [39,40,41,42,43,44,45,46,47,48,49,50]. Although analytical methods lead to accurate solutions, their uses are limited to problems with simpler geometries, limits, and loading conditions. As a result, numerical methods are needed to solve more complex problems. Numerical methods used by researchers to study the behavior of FG structures are the Ritz method, state-space method, Galerkin method, differential quadrature method, Lagrange multiplier method, and Chebyshev collocation method [44, 51,52,53,54,55,56,57,58,59,60,61,62,63,64,65,66,67,68,69,70,71,72,73,74,75,76]. Recent studies have continued to employ and develop these methods. Abbaslou et al. [77] explored the vibration and dynamic instability of functionally graded porous doubly curved panels with piezoelectric layers in supersonic airflow, using the Galerkin method to discretize the equations of motion. Ebrahimi and Parsi [78] investigated wave propagation in functionally graded graphene origami-enabled auxetic metamaterial beams on an elastic foundation, determining the analytical solution of the governing equations. Yaylacı et al. [79] conducted a numerical study on the vibration and buckling of FG beams with edge cracks using the finite element method (FEM) and multilayer perceptron (MLP). Hai et al. [80] used a refined plate theory and the Galerkin method to investigate the influence of micromechanical models on the behavior of FG plates under different boundary conditions. Zhang et al. [81] focused on the buckling behavior of two-dimensional functionally graded (2D-FG) nanosize tubes, including porosity, based on the first shear deformation and higher-order theory, solving the derived equations numerically for various boundary conditions. Cho [82] analyzed the static and free vibration of functionally graded porous plates using neutral surface theory and the natural element method (NEM). Ghatage and Sudhagar [83] examined the free vibrational responses of bidirectional axially graded cylindrical shell panels using 3D graded finite element approximation under a temperature field. Tayebi et al. [84] applied the full layerwise finite element method (FEM) in the free vibration analysis of FG composite plates reinforced with graphene nanoplatelets (GPLs) in a thermal environment. Gholami et al. [85] investigated the free vibration behavior of bi-dimensional functionally graded (BFG) nanobeams under various boundary conditions using the variable substitution method to formulate the state-space differential equations and the dynamic stiffness matrix. Wu [86] examined the nonlinear finite element vibration analysis of functionally graded nanocomposite spherical shells reinforced with graphene platelets. Xu and She [87] studied the thermal post-buckling and primary resonance of porous functionally graded material (FGM) beams in a thermal environment using the two-step perturbation method. Finally, Fan et al. [88] investigated the thermal buckling of a nonuniform nanobeam made of functionally graded material using classical beam theories and Eringen's nonlocal elasticity, solving the nonlocal partial differential equations with the generalized differential quadrature method (GDQM).
Sandwich structures have received significant attention in various engineering applications. There has been a proposal for sandwich structures made of materials with gradients of properties (FG). The core or two skins have materials with gradient properties (FGM) due to the remarkable advantages of FGM. Many research papers have been developed to analyze sandwich structures [89,90,91,92,93,94,95,96,97,98].
This paper investigates the influences of boundary conditions on the static behavior of isotropic and sandwich FG beams using the Ritz method enhanced with a novel trigonometric series and a recently refined shear deformation theory. The proposed theories have been designed to fulfill the zero traction boundary conditions on both the top and bottom surfaces of the beam, thereby eliminating the need for a shear correction factor. The accuracy of the proposed solution was validated through rigorous convergence and verification studies. Numerical results are presented for various boundary conditions to analyze the impact of length-to-depth ratio, boundary conditions, power law index skin–core–skin thickness ratios, and configurations on the structural response of isotropic and sandwich functionally graded beams (SFGB). This study contributes to advancing our understanding of FGM applications in enhancing structural efficiency across multiple engineering domains.
2 Theoretical formulation
An FG beam made of ceramic–metal is being investigated. It has a length of L and a rectangular cross section with dimensions \(b \times h\), as shown in Fig. 1. This study examines three types of FG beams: (1) Type A, which refers to isotropic FG beams, (2) Type B, which denotes sandwich beams (SB) with FG core and homogeneous faces, and (3) Type C, which represents SB with FG faces and homogeneous core. The rectangular Cartesian coordinate system describes small deformations of three layers of the sandwich elastic beam within the unstressed reference configuration. The midplane is defined by \(z = 0\), and its external bounding planes are defined by \(z=\pm h/2\). Three elastic layers are defined by “Layer1”, “Layer 2”, and “Layer 3” from the bottom layer to the top layer. The vertical positions of the base, the two interfaces, and the top are represented by h0 = − h/2, h1, h2, and h3 = h/2, respectively. In the current study, the SB is subjected to compressive in-plane forces acting on the midplane of the beam.
2.1 Type A
The beam of type A has a graded structure, transitioning from ceramic at the top surface to metal at the bottom surface (see Fig. 1a). The ceramic phase's volume fraction is determined using a simple rule of mixtures as follows:
where \({V}_{\text{c}}\) represents the volume fraction function of ceramic, and p denotes the volume fraction index \(\left( {0 \le p \le + \infty } \right)\) that determines the material change profile across h.
2.2 Type B
The core layer of the material transitions from a metal composition at the bottom to a ceramic composition at the top. The upper face is composed of isotropic ceramic, while the lower face is made of isotropic metal (refer to Fig. 1b). The volume fraction of the ceramic phase is determined using a straightforward rule of mixtures as follows:
where \(V^{\left( n \right)}\) (n = 1, 2, 3) indicates the volume fraction function of layer n; p is the volume fraction index \(\left( {0 \le p \le + \infty } \right)\) that determines the material change profile across h.
2.3 Type C
The faces range from ceramic to metal, with an isotropic ceramic core (Fig. 1c). The volume fraction of the ceramic phase is calculated using a simple rule of mixtures as follows:
where \(V^{\left( n \right)}\) (n = 1, 2, 3) indicates the layer n’s volume fraction function; p is the volume fraction index \(\left( {0 \le p \le + \infty } \right)\) that determines the material change profile across h.
The effective material properties for the nth layers, like Young's modulus \(E^{\left( n \right)}\) and Poisson's ratio, \(\nu^{\left( n \right)}\), are determined by the linear rule of the mixture as
where subscripts m and c represent metal and ceramic, respectively.
The study assumes that the Poisson's ratio of the plate remains constant throughout, as its influence on deformation is considerably less significant than that of Young's modulus.
2.4 Kinematics and constitutive equations
The displacement field that fulfills the requirements for transverse shear stresses to be zero at a specific point on the top and bottom surfaces of the plate is as follows [99, 100]:
The coefficient \({k}_{1}\) depends on the geometry, and the \(f\left(z\right)\) represents the hyperbolic shape function selected in the form [101]
where \(\left( {u,w} \right)\) are the displacement components of a general point \(\left( {x,z} \right)\) in the FG beam, \(\left( {u_{0} ,w_{0} ,\theta } \right)\) are three unknown displacements of the midplane of the beam, and \(h\) is the beam thickness. Using the displacement field in Eq. (5), the linear strains \(\varepsilon_{ij}\) are obtained as:
where
The integrals defined in the equations above will be solved using a specific method and are found as follows:
The coefficient \(A^{\prime}\) is expressed based on the type of solution used, such as a trigonometric series for different boundary conditions.
Therefore, \(A^{\prime}\) and \(k_{1}\) are expressed in Table 1, noting that \(\alpha = m\pi /L\) as follows.
The constitutive relations of an FG beam are expressed as
where
where (\(\sigma_{xx} ,\tau_{yz}\)) and (\(\varepsilon_{x} ,\gamma_{yz}\)) are the stress and strain components, respectively.
2.5 Variational formulation
The beam's strain energy from the normal force, shear force, moment, and higher-order terms is given as follows:
where
Replacing Eq. (12) into Eq. (11), one can calculate the strain energy using the following formula:
where \(\left( {A,B,D,B^{s} ,D^{s} ,H^{s} ,A^{s} } \right)\) are the stiffness components of beams and can be determined by
To define the strain energy equation, Eq. (8) is substituted into Eq. (13). Therefore, the strain energy equation was obtained in the form of displacement and rotation functions as follows:
The work done \(V\) by transverse load q is obtained by:
The FG beams total potential energy can be determined by:
The displacement field in Eq. (17) can be estimated using the Ritz method [102] in the following forms:
where (\({a}_{j},{ c}_{j}, { d}_{j}\)) are unknown values to be obtained;\(\xi_{j} \left( x \right)\), \(\phi_{j} \left( x \right)\) and \(\psi_{j} \left( x \right)\) are the shape functions that are suggested for different boundary conditions simply supported (S–S), clamped–clamped (C–C), and clamped–free (C–F) as illustrated in Table 2.
The suggested shape functions satisfy the boundary constraints in Table 3. It has been noticed that improper shape functions might result in numerical instability and sluggish convergence rates [103, 104]. Moreover, the Lagrangian multipliers technique can establish boundary constraints for shape functions that do not meet them [105,106,107].
By putting Eq. (18) into Eq. (17) and applying Lagrange's equations, the governing equations of motion are found by:
with \(q_{j}\) indicating the values of \(\left( {a_{j} ,c_{j} ,d_{j} } \right)\), which leads to:
where K denotes the stiffness matrix, and M represents the mass matrix and can be determined by:
By resolving Eq. (20), it is possible to estimate the deflection and stresses of isotropic and FG sandwich beams.
3 Numerical results and discussions
This section demonstrated the precision of the presented beam theory for bending analysis of isotropic and FG sandwich beams (FGSB) with different boundary conditions. This is done by comparing the analytical solution with previously published results in the literature. The study considers three types of functionally graded beams: A, B, and C.
The materials used in the combination are aluminum and alumina, each with specific material properties as follows:
Metal (Aluminum, Al): Em = 70 GPa, νm = 0.3.
Ceramic (Alumina, Al2O3): Ec = 380 GPa, νc = 0.3.
In the following, it is noted that various types of sandwich beams are considered:
-
(1–0–1) FGSB (\(h_{1} = h_{2} = 0\)): Plate consists of only two symmetrical and equally thick FG layers without a core layer.
-
(1–1–1) FGSB (\(h_{1} = - h/6, \;h_{2} = h/6\)): Plate is symmetrical and consists of three equally thick layers.
-
(2–1–1) FGSB (\(h_{1} = 0,\;h_{2} = h/4\)): Plate is nonsymmetric; the core thickness equals the upper face thickness, while it is half the lower face thickness.
-
(2–1–2) FGSB (\(h_{1} = - h/10,\;h_{2} = h/10\)): Plate is symmetric.
-
(1–2–1) FGSB (\(h_{1} = - h/4,\;h_{2} = h/4\)): Plate is symmetric.
-
(2–2–1) FGSB (\(h_{1} = - h/10,\;h_{2} = 3h/10\)): Plate is nonsymmetric.
Figure 2 indicates the across-the-thickness change in the modulus of elasticity (E) for \(p=0.01\), 0.2, 0.5, 2, 5, and 10 for three types: (a) Type A, (b) Type B (2–1–2), and (c) Type C (2–1–2).
For ease of use, the following nondimensional form is utilized: the vertical displacement of beams subjected to a uniformly distributed load q:
3.1 Convergence study
The convergence studies analyzed the nondimensional deflections of FG beams (type A) with a uniform load q for different boundary conditions. The solutions were determined for the power law index \(\left(p=1\right)\) and span-to-depth ratio \(\left(L/h=5\right)\). It was observed that the solutions of the SS and CF beams converged more quickly than the CC beam. A sufficient number of terms (m = 16) were determined to acquire a precise solution, and this was used consistently throughout the numerical examples. Table 4, nondimensional deflections are compared with the results of Vo et al. [62] and good agreement is found (Fig. 3).
The research focused on studying the nondimensional deflections of FG beams (type A) with q for different boundary conditions. The analysis involved determining the solutions for \(p=1\) and \(L/h=5\). It was noted that the results of SS and CF beams demonstrated quicker convergence compared to the CC beam. To ensure precision, a sufficient number of terms (m = 16) were utilized consistently across the numerical examples. Table 4 compares nondimensional deflections with the findings of Vo et al. [62], revealing a good agreement between the results.
3.2 FG beams (type A)
FG beams (Type A) under a uniformly distributed load are studied. The nondimensional transverse displacement \((\overline{w })\), axial stress \(( \bar{\sigma }_{x} )\), and transverse shear stress \(\left({\overline{\tau }}_{xz}\right)\) obtained by using a recent refined hyperbolic shear deformation theory (RHSDT) for different boundary conditions are demonstrated in Tables 5, 6, 7 and 8. The results attained are compared with solutions reported by Li et al. [44] and Vo et al. [62]. It can be observed that the values obtained using a recent RHSDT are in good agreement with those given by Li et al. [44] and Vo et al. [62] for all values of p and L/h. Tables 5 and 6 indicate that the results obtained using the Ritz method closely align with those of Li et al. [44] and Vo et al. [62], particularly with regard to normal stress and vertical displacement. The current findings are consistent with prior studies, affirming the accuracy of the current model. The relationship between shear strain parameters, slenderness ratio, and power law index for several boundary conditions is depicted in Figs. 4 and 5. Evidently, these parameters are affected by the slenderness ratio, the power law index, and boundary conditions, with a more pronounced effect observed for the C–F beams compared to the C–C beams and S–S. As the slenderness ratio increases, the nondimensional transverse displacement \(\overline{w}\) decreases (Fig. 5).
3.3 Sandwich beams with FG core and homogeneous faces
A bending analysis of Type B sandwich beams is conducted in this example. Tables 9, 10, and 11 display nondimensional \(\overline{w}, \overline{\sigma }_{x}\) and \(\overline{\tau }_{xz}\). These results have been compared with the solutions provided by Vo et al. [62], demonstrating a good agreement between the two results. The impact of the volume fraction index “p” on the variation of the nondimensional transverse displacement is depicted in Fig. 6 for both symmetric and nonsymmetrical square FG beams (Type B) with a side-to-thickness ratio of L/h = 5 and 20. Observing Fig. 6, it is evident that the \(\overline{w}\) increases rapidly from p = 0 to 0.5 and then continues to increase with further increments of p. In Fig. 7a, the graph illustrates the variations in \({\overline{\tau }}_{xz}\) throughout the thickness of FG sandwich beams. Unlike symmetric or homogeneous beams, the \({\overline{\tau }}_{xz}\) distribution for FG sandwich beams does not follow a parabolic pattern. It is worth noting that an increase in the value of p results in a decrease in transverse shear stress within the beam's skin, potentially improving its resistance to face sheet debonding. Conversely, the homogeneous beam exhibits a peak of \(\overline{\tau }_{xz}\) within the same region. In Fig. 7b, the \(\overline{\sigma }_{x}\) is depicted as being tensile at the top surface and compressive at the bottom surface of the material. Additionally, the homogeneous beam is shown to experience the highest compressive stresses at its bottom surface and the lowest tensile stresses at its top surface. Moving on to Fig. 8, the graph illustrates the relationship between the nondimensional transverse displacement and the slenderness ratio of FG beams (Type B). It's evident from the graph that the nondimensional transverse displacement significantly increases as the parameter “p” increases. This can be ascribed to the fact that E of ceramic material exceeds that of metal.
3.4 Sandwich beams with FG faces and homogeneous core (type C)
The analysis concludes by examining four types of sandwich beams of Type C: symmetric (1–1–1, 1–2–1) and nonsymmetric (2–1–1, 2–2–1). The vertical displacement for several boundary conditions is presented in Tables 12, 13 and 14 and visualized in Figs. 9 and 10. The obtained results from the analysis of symmetric and nonsymmetric sandwich beams are compared to the solutions provided by Vo et al. [62]. The results show strong agreement with the predictions based on Vo et al. [62]. Specifically, the smallest displacement is observed in the (1–2–1) sandwich beam, while the largest displacement is found in the (2–1–1) sandwich beam. This discrepancy in displacement is attributed to the varying proportions of the ceramic phase in these beams compared to others.
Based on the information provided in the search results, the influence of the volume fraction index p on the nondimensional \(\overline{w }\) of FG beams is shown in Fig. 9 for both symmetric and unsymmetric square FG sandwich beams with side-to-thickness ratios L/h = 5 and 20. The key observations are:
The \(\overline{w }\) increases gradually as the volume fraction index p increases for symmetric and unsymmetric sandwich beams. The \(\overline{w }\) of the C–C FG sandwich beams is less than that of the simply supported FG sandwich beams. In other words, as the volume fraction index p increases, indicating a higher proportion of the ceramic phase, the transverse displacement of the FG sandwich beams increases. Additionally, the clamped–clamped boundary condition results in lower transverse displacement than the simply supported condition. Figure 10 displays the changes in the nondimensional \(\overline{w }\) for symmetric (2–1–2) and nonsymmetric scheme (2–1–1) versus the side-to-thickness ratio a/h for different values of the inhomogeneity parameter p. The nondimensional transverse displacement increases as p increases. The data in Tables 15 and 16 indicate that ceramic beams (p = 0) have the smallest of \(\overline{\tau }_{xz}\) and the largest of \(\overline{\sigma }_{x}\). As the power law index increases, the \(\overline{\tau }_{xz}\) increases, while the \(\overline{\sigma }_{x}\) decreases. The variations of these stresses across the thickness (h) are shown in Figs. 11 and 12. There are differences between the stresses of symmetric and nonsymmetric beams. Symmetric beams shown in Figs. 11a, b, 12a, and b exhibit the same maximum \(\overline{\sigma }_{x}\) (tensile/compressive) at the core layer's top/bottom surface. On the other hand, nonsymmetric beams demonstrate varying stress distributions. In nonsymmetric beams, the maximum tensile axial stress is located at the core layer’s top surface. In contrast, the maximum compressive of \(\overline{\sigma }_{x}\) is found at the core layer’s bottom surface. Furthermore, it’s worth noting that regardless of beam symmetry, the maximum value of \({\overline{\tau }}_{xz}\) occurs at the midplane of the beam, as illustrated in Fig. 12.
4 Conclusions
This study presents a recent refined hyperbolic shear deformation theory (RHSDT) for analyzing the mechanical behavior of both isotropic and sandwich functionally graded material (FGM) beams. The proposed theory incorporates a novel hyperbolic distribution of transverse shear stress and satisfies the traction-free boundary conditions. Analytical trigonometric series solutions are derived for three types of FG beams under various boundary conditions. Various types of symmetric and nonsymmetric sandwich beams are considered. Numerical results are presented for different boundary conditions to investigate the effects of length-to-depth ratio, boundary conditions, power law index, and skin–core–skin thickness ratios and configurations on the structural response of the isotropic and sandwich functionally graded beams. The findings highlight the accuracy and efficiency of the RHSDT in predicting the mechanical behavior of FGM beams. The study also underscores the importance of considering various boundary conditions and geometric configurations in the design and analysis of FGM beams. Future research directions, such as those outlined by Tounsi et al. [108] on the wave propagation characteristics of functionally graded porous shells, could further enhance the understanding and application of RHSDT in analyzing more complex structural components.
