  4. Abstract:
  5. A size-dependent formulation for the Euler-Bernoulli nano- and micro-beams made of functionally graded materials (FGMs) is presented. The formulation is developed on the basis of the second strain gradient theory (SSGT). This theory is a powerful non-classical continuum theory capable of capturing the small-scale effects in the mechanical behavior of small-scale structures. To drive the governing equations of motion along with the general form of boundary conditions, the Hamilton principle is utilized. Due to the inhomogeneity through the thickness of functionally graded beams, the two equations which govern the axial and flexural deformations are coupled. In two case studies with different boundary conditions, the system of coupled equations is analytically dealt with, and the size-dependent response of FG beams in free-vibration and static behavior is numerically investigated. This investigation shows a significant difference between results of SSG theory and other non-classical and classical theories for very thin beams. © 2017
