Abstract: We report here the dynamic stability of functionally graded sandwich (FGSW) rotating cantilever Timoshenko beams under parametric excitation. Power law with various indices as well as exponential law were used to find out the properties along the thickness of the FGSW beam. The stability boundaries were established using Floquet’s theory. The equation of motion was governed by Hamilton’s principle and solved by Finite element method. The power index was optimized for uniform variation of shear modulus along the thickness of FGSW beam.The shear modulus variation along the thickness of the FGSW beam was compared both by power law and exponential law.It has been confirmed that the 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, FGSW beam, Power law, Shear modulus, Stability.
