Abstract
This study presents free vibration analysis of rotating functionally graded Timoshenko beam made of porous material using the semi-analytical differential transform method.The material properties are supposed to vary along the thickness direction of the beam according to the rule of mixture, which is modified to approximate the material properties with the porosity phases. The frequency equation is obtained using Hamilton’s principle. It is demonstrated that the DTM has high precision and computational efficiency in the vibration analysis of porous FG rotating beams. The good agreement between the results of this article and those available in literature validated the presented approach. Detailed mathematical derivations are presented and numerical investigations are performed, while emphasis is placed on investigating the effect of the several parameters such as porosity, functionally graded microstructure, thickness ratio, rotational speed and hub radius on the normalized natural frequencies of porous FG rotating beams in detail.
