Effect of In-Plane Load and Thermal Environment on Buckling and Vibration Behavior of Two-Dimensional Functionally Graded Tapered Timoshenko Nanobeam

In this work, buckling and vibration characteristics of two-dimensional functionally graded (FG) nanobeam of nonuniform thickness subjected to in-plane and thermal loads have been analyzed within the frame work of Timoshenko beam theory. The beam is tapered by linear variation in thickness along the length. The temperature-dependent material properties of the beam are varying along thickness and length as per a power-law distribution and...
