This thesis aims to develop finite element models for studying vibration of FGM porous beams in thermal environment under moving loads. Both analytical method and finite element analysis are employed in the thesis. The analytical method is used to derive equations of motion for the beam, and the finite element method is then employed to solve the governing equations and to determine the dynamic characteristics of the beams. | Summary of doctoral thesis in mechanical engineering and engineering mechanics: Dynamic of FGM beams with porosities in thermal environment under moving load
