Studying the Critical Buckling Load of FG Beam Using ANSYS

Abstract:

In this article, the critical buckling load of functionally graded beam is calculated using ANSYS APDL Software (version 17.2) under mechanical and thermal load. In mechanical load, the effects of length to thickness ratio, power law index and mode number on the non-dimension critical buckling load of fixed-fixed and fixed-free FG beam. The results show that the length to thickness ratio is not effect on the non-dimension critical buckling load while the power law index and mode number effect on the non-dimension critical buckling load. In thermal load, the critical buckling load for fixed-fixed and pinned-pinned FG beam depend on length to thickness ratio, power law index and mode number. The results show that the critical buckling load increases with decreasing length to thickness ratio.
