Abstract
This work presents analytical solutions for bending deformation and stress distributions in functionally graded beams with arbitrarily and continuously variable thicknesses and resting on a two-parameter Pasternak elastic foundation. Based on two-dimensional elasticity theory directly, the general solutions of displacements and stresses which completely satisfy the differential equations governing the equilibrium for arbitrarily varying thickness functionally graded beams are derived for the first time. The undetermined coefficients in the general solution are obtained using Fourier series expansion along the upper and lower surfaces. The accuracy and efficiency of the proposed method are verified through several typical examples. The effects of mechanical and geometry parameters on the stress and displacement distributions of varying thickness functionally graded beams resting on a two-parameter Pasternak elastic foundation are discussed further.
