Abstract
This paper presents a new higher-order shear deformation theory for static, buckling and free vibration analysis of functionally graded sandwich beams In this theory, the axial displacement accounts for a third-order and inverse trigonometric distribution, and the transverse shear stress satisfies the traction-free boundary conditions on the top and bottom surfaces of the beams Governing equations of motion are derived from the Hamilton’s principle for sandwich beams with homogeneous hardcore and softcore Navier-type solution for simply-supported beams is developed to solve the problem Numerical results are obtained to investigate effects of the power-law index, span-to-height ratio and thickness ratio of layers on the displacements, stresses, critical buckling load and frequencies

Trang 2to overcome the material discontinuity found in classical sandwich structures With the wide application of FG sandwich structures, understanding behaviors of FG sandwich beams becomes an important task
In general, the behavior of FG beams can be predicted using either three-dimen-sional (3D) elasticity theory or equivalent single-layer beam theories such as classical beam theory (CBT), first-order shear deformation beam theory (FSBT), third-order shear deformation beam theory (TSBT) and higher-order shear deformation beam theory (HSBT) Based on the 3D elasticity theory, Sankar [1] derived the exact solutions for bending analysis of FG beams subjected to trans-verse loads Zhong and Yu [2] also used 3D elasticity theory to predict the bending responses of cantilever FG beams under concentrated and uniformly distributed loads The bending responses of FG beams were investigated by Benatta et al [3], Ben-Oumrane et al [4] and Thai and Vo [5] using various equivalent single-layer beam theories Kapuria et al [6] presented a finite element model for static and free vibration responses of layered FG beams using third-order zigzag theory and validated against experiments for two different FGM systems under various boundary conditions Using a unified formulation, Giunta et al [7] presented sev-eral beam theories for the static analysis of FG beams Chakraborty et al [8] developed a new beam finite element based on the FSBT to study static, free vibration and wave propagation problems in bi-material beams fused with FGM layer Li [9] presented a new unified approach for analyzing the static and dynamic behaviors of FG beams with the rotary inertia and shear deformation included Li and Batra [10] derived analytical relations between the critical buckling load of a
FG Timoshenko beam and that of the corresponding homogeneous Euler-Bernoulli beam subjected to axial compressive load Kadoli et al [11] adopted the TSBT to develop a beam finite element to study the static behavior of FG beams under uniformly distributed loads Li et al [12] derived analytical solutions for static and dynamic analysis of FG beams using TSBT Based on the FSBT, Nguyen et al [13] recently proposed the static and free vibration analysis of axially loaded FG beams in which an improved transverse shear stiffness has been intro-duced It should be noted that the CBT is applicable to slender beams only For moderately deep beams, it underestimates deflection and overestimates buckling load and natural frequencies due to ignoring the shear deformation effect The FSBT accounts for the shear deformation effect, but requires a shear correction factor Alternatively, the HSBT considers the shear deformation effect without requiring any shear correction factors However the efficiency of the HSBT depends on the appropriate choice of displacement field which is an interesting subject that attracted many research (see [4, 11, 14–23]) Although there are many works on the FG beams, the studies on behaviors of FG sandwich beams are still limited Bhangale and Ganesan [24] studied vibration and buckling behaviors of an

This paper aims to present the static, buckling and free vibration analysis of
FG sandwich beams using a new higher-order shear deformation theory In this theory, the transverse shear stress accounts for a new hyperbolic distribution and satisfies the traction-free boundary conditions on the top and bottom surfaces of the beams Governing equations of motion are derived from the Hamilton’s principle for two core types of sandwich beams Navier-type solution for simply-supported beams
is developed to solve the problem Numerical results are obtained for FG sandwich beams to investigate effects of the power-law index, span-to-height ratio and thick-ness ratio of layers on the deflection, stresses, critical buckling load and frequencies
Kinematics
Consider an FG sandwich beam composed of three layers as shown in Figure 1 The x-, y- and z-axes are taken along the length (L), width (b) and height (h) of the beam, respectively The face layers of the sandwich beam are made of a mixture of isotropic materials with properties varying smoothly in the z-direction only The core layer is made of an isotropic homogeneous material The vertical pos-itions of the bottom and top, and of the two interfaces between the layers are denoted by h0¼ h2, h1, h2, h3¼h2, respectively For the brevity, the ratio of the thickness of each layer from bottom to top is denoted by the combination of three numbers, i.e ‘‘1-0-1’’, ’’2-1-2’’ and so on
