A Static and Free Vibration Analysis of Porous Functionally Graded Beams
(
Qatar University Press
, 2023 , Conference Paper)
In this work, the static and free vibration analysis of functionally graded (FG) porous beams is investigated using a new higher-order shear deformation model (HSD). The porosity that develops naturally during the fabrication ...
