Summary
This paper presents new finite element equations for uniform torsion of functionally graded material (FGM) beams of noncircular cross-section (rectangular and hollow) with spatial variation of material properties. The real material properties of the FGM beam are homogenised by extended mixture rules and the multilayer method to reach the effective material properties, which varies in the beam's longitudinal direction. The concept of the transfer matrix method was used in the finite element derivation. The numerical calculations were completed and the results obtained are compared with those obtained by means of three-dimensional solid finite elements. The high effectiveness and accuracy of the new finite element is demonstrated and discussed.
