Abstract: This work is concerned to examine the rotational stability of functionally graded cantilever Timoshenko beams. Power law with various indices as well as exponential law were used to find out the effect of hub radius parameter on the stability of both functionally graded ordinary (FGO) beam. Floquet’s theory was used to establish the stability boundaries. The governing equation of motion was followed by Hamilton’s principle and solved by Finite element method. Dependence of Bulk modulus on thickness of beam was studied using both power law and exponential distribution. The influence of hub radius parameter was found to be enhancing the stability of FGO beams. It has further been confirmed that the effect of hub radius with exponential distribution of constituent phases renders better stability compared to power law distribution of the phases in the functionally graded material(FGM).
Keywords: Exponential law, FGO Beam, Hub Radius, Power law, Stability.
