| Abstract | ||
| The paper focuses on the free vibration analysis of Functionally Graded (FG) beams under various boundary conditions, accounting for the presence of porosity. The effect of different porosity distribution rates is also investigated by employing a newly modified power law formulation to adjust the material properties in the thickness direction of porous FG beams. The displacement model used in this formulation is based on the higher-order shear deformation theory (HDT). Utilizing Hamilton's principle, the governing equation for the free vibration analysis of FG beams is derived. A comprehensive comparative study is conducted, comparing the results obtained with other existing theories. The findings from this comparative analysis, using the state space approach, provide valuable insights into the vibration behavior of FG beams. Analytical solutions are presented to explore the impact of porosity distribution rates, volume exponent, slenderness ratio, and boundary conditions on vibration characteristics. Numerical examples demonstrate that these key parameters significantly influence the vibration response of FG beams. | ||
