Abstract
Purpose The multi-step sequential infiltration technique or sintering process usually produces porosities in functionally
graded structures. It is confirmed that the porosity significantly influences the static responses of FGM beams, but its influence on their thermodynamic response is still worth studying.
Methods To highlight this influence, the dynamic behavior of simply-supported porous FG beams with effective temperaturedependent material properties is examined by using a novel integral three variable quasi-3D high-order shear deformation
theory for the first time. Notably, different thermal gradients varying along the thickness are considered. The governing
differential equations of motion have been established based on Hamilton’s principle and solved by employing the Naviertype closedform solution.
Results The present theoretical results are validated with the existing literature, and excellent agreement is identified between
the results. Besides, material temperature dependence, power-law index, porosity parameter, temperature rising, and slenderness ratio effects are discussed. Results show that dynamic behavior using temperature-dependent and independent
material properties would produce different natural frequencies. With the rise of porosity, the natural frequency decreases
significantly at high temperatures.
Conclusions The beam with a higher slenderness ratio is more sensitive to the stretching effect. Finally, to improve the
thermodynamic behavior of such structures, ceramic constituents with a lower thermal expansion coefficient would be
recommended.
