Abstract
This paper investigates stability and free vibration behaviours of bi-directional functionally graded material (BDFGM) curved sandwich beams. Simultaneous variation of material compositions along tangential and radial direction is considered. A three-node curved isoparametric beam element based on a 4-parameter global–local shear deformation theory is employed. The obtained results are verified with those from literature. Various parameters such as aspect ratio, deepness ratio, gradient indexes, boundary conditions are taken into account. Several results of BDFG curved beams are provided for benchmark purpose.
