Abstract

This study explores the incorporation of porosity in functionally graded structures. Researchers typically integrate the porosity function into the rule of mixtures without accounting for specific fabrication processes, which relate to the volume fraction of material constituents. This paper presents an analytical investigation of buckling behavior in functionally graded beams, introducing a novel perspective on porosity that directly connects it to the volume fraction. Two porosity schemes are examined: volume fraction-dependent porosity (VFD) and rule of mixtures-dependent porosity (RMD). Four types of porosity are defined: Even, Uneven, Linear (1), and Linear (2). A higher-order shear deformation theory is proposed, based on a generalized displacement field. The equilibrium equations are derived using the principle of virtual work and solved with the Galerkin method to accommodate various boundary conditions. This work thoroughly investigates how structural geometry, material combination parameters, porosity types, and boundary conditions impact the critical buckling loads of the functionally graded beam.
