Summary
The dynamic stiffness matrix of a moving functionally graded beam is developed in this paper. The material properties of the beam are assumed to vary through the thickness of the beam from its bottom to top surface according to a power law. The formulation integrates independent dynamic stiffness theories developed earlier for a moving isotropic beam and a non-moving functionally graded beam. First the kinetic and potential energies of a moving functionally graded beam are established from which the governing differential equation of motion and natural boundary conditions are derived by applying Hamilton's principle. For harmonic oscillation, the differential equation is solved analytically and expressions for bending displacement and bending rotation are obtained in explicit algebraic form. The frequency dependent dynamic stiffness matrix is developed by applying boundary conditions to relate the amplitudes of the forces and displacements at the two ends of the harmonically vibrating functionally graded moving beam.
