Frequency equations and mode shapes for various beams.
Abstract
Axially functionally graded (AFG) beam is a special kind of nonhomogeneous functionally gradient material structure, whose material properties vary continuously along the axial direction of the beam by a given distribution form. There are several numerical methods that have been used to analyze the vibration characteristics of AFG beams, but it is difficult to obtain precise solutions for AFG beams because of the variable coefficients of the governing equation. In this topic, the free vibration of AFG beam using analytical method based on the perturbation theory and Meijer G-Function are studied, respectively. First, a detailed review of the existing literatures is summarized. Then, based on the governing equation of the AFG Euler-Bernoulli beam, the detailed analytic equations are derived on basis of the perturbation theory and Meijer G-function, where the nature frequencies are demonstrated. Subsequently, the numerical results are calculated and compared, meanwhile, the analytical results are also confirmed by finite element method and the published references. The results show that the proposed two analytical methods are simple and efficient and can be used to conveniently analyze free vibration of AFG beam.

1. Introduction
Functionally gradient materials (FGMs) make a composite material by varying the microstructure from one material to another material with a specific gradient. It can be designed for specific function and applications. If it is for thermal or corrosive resistance or malleability and toughness, both strengths of the material may be used to avoid corrosion, fatigue, fracture, and stress corrosion cracking. FGMs are usually made into several structures, such as beams [1, 2, 3, 4], plates [5, 6, 7, 8], and shells [9, 10, 11, 12]. In this area, the variation of material properties in functionally graded beams may be oriented in transverse (thickness) direction or/and longitudinal/axial (length) direction.
For functionally graded beams with thickness-wise gradient variation, there have been many studies devoted to this topic. Lee et al. [13] establish an accurate transfer matrix method to analyze the free vibration characteristics of FGM beams whose Young’s modulus and density vary continuously with the height of the beam section through power law distribution. Su et al. [14] developed the dynamic stiffness method to investigate the free vibration behavior of FGM beams. Jing et al. [15] introduced a new approach by combining the cell-centered finite volume method and Timoshenko beam theory to analyze static and free vibration of FGM beams. Ait Atmane et al. [16] investigated the free vibration of a nonuniform FGM beams with exponentially varying width and material properties. Sina et al. [17] studied the free vibration of FGM beams by analytical method based on the traditional first-order shear deformation theory. Sharma [18] investigated the computational characteristics of harmonic differential quadrature method for free vibration of functionally graded piezoelectric material beam, which the material properties are assumed to have a power law or sigmoid law variation across the depth. Li et al. [19] proposed a high-order shear theory for free vibration of FGM beams with continuously varying material properties under different boundary conditions. Celebi et al. [20] employed the complementary function method to investigate the free vibration analysis of simply supported FGM beams, which the material properties change arbitrarily in the thickness direction. Chen et al. [21] studied the nonlinear free vibration behavior of shear deformable sandwich porous FGM beam based on the von kármán type geometric nonlinearity and Ritz method. Nazemnezhad and Hosseini-Hashemi [22] examined the nonlinear free vibration of FGM nanobeams with immovable ends using the multiple scale method.
As the FGMs are good for severe conditions, thermal-mechanical effect on FGM structures has attracted broad attention. In this field, Farzad Ebrahimi and Erfan Salari obtained outstanding achievements. Considering the thermal-mechanical effect and size-dependent thermo-electric effect, the buckling and vibration behavior of FGM nanobeams are studied [23, 24, 25, 26]. Considering the concept of neutral axis, they [27] studied the free buckling and vibration of FGM nanobeams using semi-analytical differential transformation method. To discuss the effect of the shear stress, Reddy’s higher-order shear deformation beam theory is introduced to study the vibration of the FGM structures [28, 29, 30]. Ebrahimi et al. [31, 32, 33] also studied vibration characteristics of FGM beams with porosities. Based on nonlocal elasticity theory, the nonlocal temperature-dependent vibration of FGM nanobeams were studied in thermal environment [34, 35, 36].
Another significant class of functionally graded beams is those with lengthwise varying material properties. It is difficult to obtain precise solutions for axially functionally graded (AFG) beams because of the variable coefficients of the governing equation. To solve this problem, a great deal of methods has been used to analyze the vibration characteristics of AFG beams. By assuming that the material constituents vary throughout the longitudinal directions according to a simple power law, Alshorbagy et al. [37] developed a two-node, six-degree-of-freedom finite element method (FEM) in conjunction with Euler-Bernoulli beam theory to detect the free vibration characteristics of a functionally graded beam. Shahba et al. [38, 39] used the FEM to study the free vibration of an AFG-tapered beam based on Euler-Bernoulli and Timoshenko beam theory. Shahba and Rajasekaran [40] studied the free vibration analysis of AFG-tapered Euler-Bernoulli beams employing the differential transform element method. Liu et al. [41] applied the spline finite point method to investigate the same problems. Rajasekaran [42] researched the free bending vibration of rotating AFG-tapered Euler-Bernoulli beams with different boundary conditions using the differential transformation method and differential quadrature element method. Rajasekaran and Tochaei [43] carried out the free vibration analysis of AFG Timoshenko beams using the same method. Huang and Li [44] studied the free vibration of variable cross-sectional AFG beams. The differential equation with variable coefficients is combined with the boundary conditions and transformed into Fredholm integral equation. By solving Fredholm integral equation, the natural frequencies of AFG beams can be obtained. Huang et al. [45] proposed a new approach for investigating the vibration behaviors of AFG Timoshenko beams with nonuniform cross section by introducing an auxiliary function. Huang and Rong [46] introduced a simple approach to deal with the free vibration of nonuniform AFG Euler-Bernoulli beams based on the polynomial expansion and integral technique. Hein and Feklistova [47] solved the vibration problems of AFG beams with various boundary conditions and varying cross sections via the Haar wavelet series. Xie et al. [48] presented a spectral collocation approach based on integrated polynomials combined with the domain decomposition technique for free vibration analyses of beams with axially variable cross sections, moduli of elasticity, and mass densities. Kukla and Rychlewska [49] proposed a new approach to study the free vibration analysis of an AFG beam; the approach relies on replacing functions characterizing functionally graded beams with piecewise exponential functions. Zhao et al. [50] introduced a new approach based on Chebyshev polynomial theory to investigate the free vibration of AFG Euler-Bernoulli and Timoshenko beams with nonuniform cross sections. Fang and Zhou [51, 52] researched the modal analysis of rotating AFG-tapered Euler-Bernoulli and Timoshenko beams with various boundary conditions employing the Chebyshev-Ritz method. Li et al. [53, 54] obtained the exact solutions for the free vibration of FGM beams with material profiles and cross-sectional parameters varying exponentially in the axial direction, where assumptions of Euler-Bernoulli and Timoshenko beam theories have been applied, respectively. Sarkar and Ganguli [55] studied the free vibration of AFG Timoshenko beams with different boundary conditions and uniform cross sections. Akgöz and Civalek [56] examined the free vibrations of AFG-tapered Euler-Bernoulli microbeams based on Bernoulli-Euler beam and modified couple stress theory. Yuan et al. [57] proposed a novel method to simplify the governing equations for the free vibration of Timoshenko beams with both geometrical nonuniformity and material inhomogeneity along the beam axis, and a series of exact analytical solutions are derived from the reduced equations for the first time. Yilmaz and Evran [58] investigated the free vibration of axially layered FGM short beams using experimental and FEM simulation, which the beams are manufactured by using the powder metallurgy technique using different weight fractions of aluminum and silicon carbide powders.
Till now, there also are plenty of literatures devoted to the free vibration for nonuniform beams. Boiangiu et al. [59] obtained the exact solutions for free bending vibrations of straight beams with variable cross section using Bessel’s functions and proposed a transfer matrix method to determine the natural frequencies of a complex structure of conical and cylindrical beams. Garijo [60] analyzed the free vibration of Euler-Bernoulli beams of variable cross section employing a collocation technique based on Bernstein polynomials. Arndt et al. [61] presented an adaptive generalized FEM to determine the natural frequencies of nonuniform Euler-Bernoulli beams. The spline-method of degree 5 defect 1 is proposed by Zhernakov et al. [62] to determine the natural frequencies of beam with variable cross section. Wang [63] studied the vibration of a cantilever beam with constant thickness and linearly tapered sides by means of a novel accurate, efficient initial value numerical method. Silva and Daqaq [64] solved the linear eigenvalue problem exactly of a slender cantilever beam of constant thickness and linearly varying width using the Meijer G-function approach. Rajasekaran and Khaniki [65] applied the FEM to research the vibration behavior of nonuniform small-scale beams in the framework of nonlocal strain gradient theory. Çalım [66] investigated the dynamic behavior of nonuniform composite beams employing an efficient method of analysis in the Laplace domain. Yang et al. [67] applied the power series method to investigate the natural frequencies and the corresponding complex mode functions of a rotating tapered cantilever Timoshenko beam. Clementi [68] analytically determined the frequency response curves of a nonuniform beam undergoing nonlinear oscillations by the multiple time scale method. Wang [69] proposed the differential quadrature element method for the natural frequencies of multiple-stepped beams with an aligned neutral axis. Abdelghany [70] utilized the differential transformation method to examine the free vibration of nonuniform circular beam.
The asymptotic development method, which is a kind of perturbation analysis method, is always used to solve nonlinear vibration equations. For example, Chen et al. [71, 72] studied the nonlinear dynamic behavior of axially accelerated viscoelastic beams and strings based on the asymptotic perturbation method. Ding et al. [73, 74] studied the influence of natural frequency of transverse vibration of axially moving viscoelastic beams and the steady-state periodic response of forced vibration of dynamic viscoelastic beams based on the multi-scale method. Chen [75] used the asymptotic perturbation method to analyze the finite deformation of prestressing hyperelastic compression plates. Hao et al. [76] employed the asymptotic perturbation method to obtain the nonlinear dynamic responses of a cantilever FGM rectangular plate subjected to the transversal excitation in thermal environment. Andrianov and Danishevs’kyy [77] proposed an asymptotic method for solving periodic solutions of nonlinear vibration problems of continuous structures. Based on the asymptotic expansion method of Poincaré-Lindstedt version [78], the longitudinal vibration of a bar and the transverse vibration of a beam under the action of a nonlinear restoring force are studied. The asymptotic development method is applied to obtain an approximate analytical expression of the natural frequencies of nonuniform cables and beams [79, 80]. Cao et al. [81, 82] applied the asymptotic development method to analyze the free vibration of nonuniform axially functionally graded (AFG) beams. Tarnopolskaya et al. [83] gave the first comprehensive study of the mode transition phenomenon in vibration of beams with arbitrarily varying curvature and cross section on the basis of asymptotic analysis.
The present topic focus on the free vibration of AFG beams with uniform or nonuniform cross sections using analytical method: the asymptotic perturbation method (APM) and Meijer G-function. First, the governing differential equation for free vibration of nonuniform AFG beam is summarized and rewritten in a form of a dimensionless equation based on Euler-Bernoulli beam theory. Second, the analytic equations are then derived in detail in Sections 3 and 4, respectively, where the nature frequencies are obtained and compared with the results of the finite element method and the published references. Finally, the conclusions are presented.

Table 2 shows the first third-order natural frequencies of the AFG beam, case of Figure 2(a), which is uniform but nonhomogeneous. It can be clearly seen that the analytical results obtained from the asymptotic development method are in good agreement with those given by Ref. [38].
As can be seen from Tables 3 and 4, the first third-order dimensionless natural frequencies of AFG conical beams with only varying width or height are studied, respectively. It is easy to find the following conclusions. This method has higher accuracy on the equal height AFG-tapered beam. When the height changes, there is a certain fractional error in the AFG-tapered beam.
According to Figure 2(d), when the height and width of AFG beams change simultaneously, we can see that AFG beams are not uniform. The natural frequencies of three boundary conditions (free clamping, simply supported, and clamping) are studied in Tables 5, 6, 7. From the data in the table, it can be clearly found that the natural frequencies of AFG beams at low order are in good agreement with Ref. [38], while at high order, there are some errors in the natural frequencies.
4. The method of Meijer G-function
4.1 Equation deriving
In this section, the Meijer G-function is introduced to obtain the formula of the nature frequency of the AFG beam. Here, a special case of AFG beam is considered, where the cross section is uniform. Thus, in Eq. (1), Young’s modulus
where
Based on the vibration theory, we assume
Next, Meijer G-function will be used to solve the linear partial differential equation. The general expression of Meijer G-function differential equation is written as
where
A definition of the Meijer G-function is given by the following path integral in the complex plane, called the Mellin-Barnes type:
where an empty product is interpreted as 1,
A special case of Eq. (31) can be expanded by assuming
where
Eq. (30) is transformed into
Because of the difficulty of solving the differential equation with variable coefficients, we can simplify Eq. (35). Let
In order to solve the above equation, the coefficients of the ordinary differential Eqs. (33) and (36) are the same, so we can calculate the corresponding values, as shown in Table 8.

4.2 Numerical results and discussion
Based on the above analysis, the natural frequencies of beams under different boundary conditions can be solved. Meanwhile, the results of finite element method are also conducted to verify the accuracy of the analytical results. Here, we use the power law gradient of the existing AFG beams [44], and the material properties of AFG beams change continuously along the axial direction. Therefore, the expressions of Young’s modulus

In order to verify the correctness of this method, some finite element simulation software is used to verify its correctness. In this paper, we analyze the natural frequencies of uniform AFG beams under different boundary conditions. In the process of finite element analysis, the AFG beam is transformed into a finite length model by using the delamination method [85]. At the same time, the AFG beam is delaminated along the axial direction. As shown in Figure 4, the material properties change along the axial direction, and the material properties of the adjacent layers are different. In order to analyze the performance of the beam, the uniform element is used to mesh each layer. In order to make the natural frequencies of AFG beams more precise, we can increase the number of layers and refine the finite element meshes.
In the Meijer G-function method, in order to solve the linear natural frequencies of beams under different boundary conditions, the determinant of the coefficient matrix of Eqs. (42)–(45) is equal to zero. Finally, linear natural frequencies of beams with different boundary conditions of the first four orders are listed in Table 10.

From Table 10, we can see that the results of finite element method are similar to those of Meijer G-function and the error is small. This can prove the accuracy of the method in frequency calculation on the one hand. In Figure 5, we can find that the first third-order dimensionless natural frequencies of C-F beams are in good agreement with FEM and numerical calculation. With the gradual increase of gradient parameter F, the dimensionless natural frequency of C-F beam increases gradually, and the change speed is accelerated. At the same time, the FEM and numerical simulation errors are very small, so the precise linear natural frequencies can be obtained.
5. Conclusions
FGMs are innovative materials and are very important in engineering and other applications. Despite the variety of methods and approaches for numerical and analytical investigation of nonuniform FG beams, no simple and fast analytical method applicable for such beams with different boundary conditions and varying cross-sectional area was proposed. In this topic, two analytical approaches, the asymptotic perturbation and the Meijer G-function method, were described to analyze the free vibration of the AFG beams.
Based on the Euler-Bernoulli beam theory, the governing differential equations and related boundary conditions are described, which is more complicated because of the partial differential equation with variable coefficients. For both the asymptotic perturbation and the Meijer G-function method, the variable flexural rigidity and mass density are divided into invariant parts and variable parts firstly. Different analytical processes are then carried out to deal with the variable parts applying perturbation theory and the Meijer G-function, respectively. Finally, the simple formulas are derived for solving the nature frequencies of the AFG beams with C-F boundary conditions followed with C-C, C-S, and C-P conditions, respectively. It is observed that natural frequency increases gradually with the increase of the gradient parameter.
Accuracy of the results is also examined using the available data in the published literature and the finite element method. In fact, it can be clearly found that result of the APM is more accurate in low-order mode, which is caused by the defect of the perturbation theory. However, the APM is simple and easily comprehensible, while the Meijer G-function method is more complex and unintelligible for engineers. In general, the results show that the proposed two analytical methods are efficient and can be used to analyze the free vibration of AFG beams.
