Optimizing Shape Functions in the Rayleigh-Ritz Method for Efficient Free Vibration Analysis of Functionally Graded Nanobeams Akash Kumar Gartia, S. Chakraverty Mechanics of Solids, 2025 Abstract This study explores the effectiveness of different shape functions in solving the free vibration problem of functionally graded (FG) nanobeams using the Rayleigh-Ritz method. The structural properties of the nanobeam vary continuously through its thickness, following a power law distribution of material volume fractions. The FG nanobeam is modeled using the Euler-Bernoulli beam theory, while small-scale effects are incorporated through Eringen’s nonlocal elasticity theory. Various shape functions are examined within the Rayleigh-Ritz framework to assess their computational efficiency. The primary objective is to identify the optimal shape function for this method. To achieve this, the mass and stiffness matrices are computed, and a generalized eigenvalue problem is formulated to determine the non-dimensional frequency parameter. The study evaluates the convergence behavior and computational time of each shape function to identify the most effective option. The results are validated against existing literature for specific cases, demonstrating the performance of the optimal shape function under different boundary conditions, small-scale parameters, and power law exponents. Additionally, new insights are provided into the vibrational behavior of FG nanobeams across various boundary conditions. This focus on shape function optimization enhances computational methodologies in FG nanobeam vibration analysis.
Analytical Solution for Free Vibration of Multi-Cracked Metal–Ceramic Functionally Graded Nanobeams Resting on Elastic Foundations Akash Kumar Gartia, Priya Rao, S. Chakraverty International Journal of Structural Stability and Dynamics, 2025 This study explores the free vibration behavior of multi-cracked functionally graded (FG) nanobeams situated on Winkler–Pasternak elastic foundations. Cracks are modeled as rotational springs, effectively dividing the beam into sub-beams. The present model is formulated for metal–ceramic FG nanobeams composed of two isotropic phases with material properties varying continuously across the thickness based on a power-law distribution. The analysis incorporates Euler–Bernoulli beam theory and Eringen’s nonlocal elasticity theory to capture size-dependent effects. A fourth-order differential equation with constant coefficients is formulated, and an analytical approach is utilized to calculate the frequency parameter values. Validation with existing literature in specific cases confirms the accuracy of the obtained results. The effects of various factors, including the transverse gradient index, nonlocal parameter, Winkler and Pasternak foundation parameters, crack severity, and crack locations, on the first four frequency parameters are investigated. Unlike existing studies, the proposed model allows for any number of cracks (multiple cracks), offering a generalized framework for realistic damage scenarios. This is the first study to analytically address the combined effects of multiple cracks with elastic foundations in FG nanobeams. This framework provides a robust tool for analyzing FG nanobeams with cracks under diverse boundary conditions and material gradations. These findings have significant implications for the design and optimization of nanostructures in aerospace, mechanical, and biomedical applications.
