Dynamics Sensitivity Analyses of Functionally Graded Porous (FGP) Curved Beams with Variable Curvatures and General Boundary Conditions

A method is proposed to obtain the exact solution for the dynamic analysis of functionally graded porous (FGP) curved beams with general boundary conditions and variable curvatures. First, the model of a curved beam of variable curvature is constructed, and then the beam is divided into a number of free beam segments via a multi-segment segmentation (MSS) strategy. Second, the first-order shear deformation theory (FSDT) is adopted to obtain the...
