Influence of homogenization schemes on vibration of functionally graded curved microbeams

The influence of various homogenization models is studied on the free vibration behavior of a functionally graded material (FGM) curved microbeam which is modeled using the modified strain gradient theory of elasticity as well as the first-order shear deformation theory. Different homogenization models (such as Voigt, Reuss, Hashin-Shtrikman bounds, and cubic local representative volume elements (LRVE) schemes) are used to predict the effective...
