Abstract The mechanical buckling of curved beams made of functionally graded materials is studies in this paper. The equilibrium and stability equations of curved beams under mechanical loads are derived. Using proper approximate functions for the displacement components, the stability equations are employed to obtain the related eigenvalues associated with the buckling load of the curved beam. Closed-form solutions are obtained for mechanical buckling of curved beams with doubly symmetric cross section subjected to uniform distributed radial load and pure bending moment. The results are validated with the known data in the literature for beams with isotropic materials. r 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

1. Introduction Research on the buckling of curved beams is a subject of intensive interest. The critical buckling loads of a curved beam, under the uniform bending and uniform compression, are obtained by Timoshenko and Gere [1] using the equilibrium approach. Based on an analogy between the generalized strains for straight and curved members, Vlasov [2] and Yoo [3] started their formulations to obtain the buckling loads of a curved beam from the straight beam theory. By replacing the generalized strains for the straight beam with those of the curved beam, Vlasov [2] worked directly on the equilibrium equations and Yoo [3] proceeded with the potential energy expression followed by a variational procedure. The stability equations and the resulting buckling loads, as achieved by Vlasov and Yoo, are different. Yang and Kuo [4] applied the principle of virtual displacements to derive the buckling equations of curved beams. Papangelis and Trahair [5] investigated the same problem using the potential energy approach. Rajasekaran and Padmanabhan [6] derived their own equilibrium and stability equations of curved beams based on the principle Corresponding author. Tel.: +98 21 640 5844; fax: +98 21 641 9736.

of virtual work. Kuo and Yang [7] presented a stability theory for symmetric thin-walled curved beams considering the curvature effects. Kang and Yoo [8] derived the analytical solutions for the stability behavior of a simply supported thin-walled curved beam having a doubly symmetric open section. Kim et al. [9] improved the formulation for the spatial stability of curved beams with nonsymmetric cross section based on the displacement field, considering the constant curvature effects and the second-order terms of finite semi-tangential rotations. The in-plane and out-of-plane buckling of steel arches are presented by Refs. [10–12]. The flexural-torsional buckling of steel arches is investigated by Ref. [13]. Functionally graded materials (FGMs) are advanced and heat-resisting materials used in modern technologies as structural elements. FGMs have received considerable attention in many engineering applications since they were first reported in 1984 in Japan. FGMs are heterogeneous materials in which the elastic and thermal properties change from one surface to the other, gradually and continuously. The material is constructed by smoothly changing the volume fraction of the constituent materials. Typically, these materials are made from a mixture of ceramic and metal. With the increased use of these materials in the industry, the behavior of the FGM structures under thermal and mechanical loads are essential.

Thermal buckling of rings made of FGMs is presented by Shahsiah and Eslami [14]. Buckling of FGM rectangular plates under axial load, is studied by Briman [15]. Ng et al. [16] derived the stability equations and buckling loads of FGM circular cylindrical shells under axial harmonic loading condition. Thermal and mechanical buckling of FGM plates are studied by Javaheri and Eslami [17–19] and Najafizadeh and Eslami [20–22]. Thermal stability of FGM circular cylindrical shells based on the Donnell stability equations are investigated by Shahsiah and Eslami [25]. In this paper, a curved beam made of FGM is considered. The Reddy’s model for the variation of the modules of elasticity is considered for the material distribution across the thickness of the curved beam. The equilibrium and stability equations of curved beams under mechanical loads are derived using the variational principle. The closed-form solutions for buckling load related to the uniform compression and pure bending moment are obtained. The results are reduced to the mechanical buckling loads of curved beams made of isotropic materials. 2.

2.1. Displacement field of cross section Displacement parameters for a thin-walled cross section arch with right-handed coordinate system are shown in Fig. 1. The x1 -axis coincides with the centroid of the cross section, x2 , and x3 are the principle inertia axes, ux , uy , uz are the rigid body translations of the cross section along the x1 -, x2 -, x3 -direction at the centroid and w1 , w2 , w3 are the rigid body rotations about the centroid x2 - and x3 direction, respectively. Since the shear deformation is assumed to be negligible, the expressions for the rigid body rotations w2 ; w3 and the warping parameter f may be derived from the Frent’s formula [6] as ux w2 ¼ u0z þ ; w3 ¼ u0y , (9) R f ¼ y0

Also, eij , Zij , and eij are the conventional linear, the nonlinear, and the linear strain increment due to the first- and second-order terms of the displacement components, respectively.

2. The results of this study, reduced to the in-plane buckling of a doubly symmetric isotropic simply supported curved beam subjected to uniform compression, is well compared with those reported by Yang and Kuo [4], Rajasekaran and Padmanabhan [6] and Kang and Yoo [8]. 3. The analytical results of this paper for the out-of-plane buckling of a doubly symmetric curved beam with simply supported edge conditions subjected to pure bending, when reduced to the metallic curved beam, is well compared with those reported by Yang and Kuo [4], Rajasekaran and Padmanabhan [6] and Kang and Yoo [8].

for in-plane buckling is compared with those given by Refs. [2,4–6,8] for a doubly symmetric cross section curved beam under in-plane distributed radial load. The numerical results are shown in Table 1. The comparison is well justified. The out-of-plane buckling bending moment of a FGM curved beam, using the above numerical data, are given in Table 2. Also, to validate the results, the analytical solution presented in this study is reduced for the isotropic material (metal) and the resulting expression for out-of-plane buckling is compared with those given by Refs. [2,4–6,8] for a doubly symmetric cross section curved beam. The comparison is shown in Table 2. The comparison is well justified (Figs. 2 and 3). 7. Conclusion For spatial stability analysis of circular curved beams, the elastic strain energy and potential energy due to initial stress were derived by applying the principle of virtual work. The Reddy’s model for the Young’s modules is considered. The analytical solutions were presented for in-plane and out-ofplane buckling of a doubly symmetric cross section FGM curved beam subjected to uniform radial load and pure bending moment under simply supported edge conditions. The following conclusions may be derived: 1. The buckling load for FGM curved beam is greater than the corresponding value for the isotropic metallic curved beam.
