The formulations of dis- persion relation are explicitly derived for both strain gradi- ent beam models, and presented for different material length scale parameters （MLSPs）. For both phenomenological size- dependent beam models, the angular frequency, phase veloc- ity and group velocity increase with increasing wave num- ber. However, the velocity ratios approach different values for different beam models, indicating an interesting behavior of the asymptotic velocity ratio. The present theory is also compared with the nonlocal continuum beam models.展开更多
The exact relationship between the bending solutions of functionally graded material （FGM） beams based on the Levinson beam theory and those of the correspond- ing homogenous beams based on the classical beam theory...The exact relationship between the bending solutions of functionally graded material （FGM） beams based on the Levinson beam theory and those of the correspond- ing homogenous beams based on the classical beam theory is presented for the material properties of the FGM beams changing continuously in the thickness direction. The de- flection, the rotational angle, the bending moment, and the shear force of FGM Levinson beams （FGMLBs） are given analytically in terms of the deflection of the reference ho- mogenous Euler-Bernoulli beams （HEBBs） with the same loading, geometry, and end supports. Consequently, the solution of the bending of non-homogenous Levinson beams can be simplified to the calculation of transition coefficients, which can be easily deter- mined by variation of the gradient of material properties and the geometry of beams. This is because the classical beam theory solutions of homogenous beams can be eas- ily determined or are available in the textbook of material strength under a variety of boundary conditions. As examples, for different end constraints, particular solutions are given for the FGMLBs under specified loadings to illustrate validity of this approach. These analytical solutions can be used as benchmarks to check numerical results in the investigation of static bending of FGM beams based on higher-order shear deformation theories.展开更多
