An Elastic Solution of a Functionally Graded Cantilever Beam with Different Modulus in Tension and Compression under Uniform Pressure

Abstract:

An Elastic solution for functionally graded cantilever beam with different modulus in tension and compression subjected to a uniform pressure on the lateral surface is investigated. The elastic modulus of tension and compression vary with the thickness as an arbitrary function, respectively, which makes the solution have a broader range of applications than the homogeneous ones. When the tension and compression modulus have the same constant value, the solution degenerates into the classical one of the cantilever beam.
