Bending of Thermoviscoelastic Functionally Graded Materials Beams

Abstract:

According to the constitutive relation of linear thermovisoelasticity, with the help of Laplace transformation method and the introduction of structure functions and thermal functions, the mathematical model and its corresponding variational principle for thermoviscoelastic FGM beams are set up on the basis of the assumption that plane section remains plane and normal to the beam axis. Using Laplace transformation method, the deflection and the stress distribution are discussed.
