In these analyses, three different FGBs were used. Material properties of these FGBs are varied depending on the power law function along the z axis while Poisson ratio was assumed to be constant along the z-axis. Analytical formulas were given for axial stress analysis along z axis. FGBs were analysed numerically using the ANSYS program. Analytical and numerical results of axial stresses were compared and observed to be in consistence with each other. Then, the effect of different FGB types on axial stress was investigated under thermal loading. After analytical and numerical calculations, it was concluded that the FGM type consisting of Ti-6Al4V / Al2O3 metal ceramic pair had the lowest axial stress values. The results are given in graphs. © School of Engineering, Taylor’s University.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessFinite element methodFunctionally graded beamPower functionStress analysisThermal loadingStress analysis of functionally graded beams due to thermal loadingArticle651Q35415
