Analytical Solutions of Functionally Graded Curved Beams under an Arbitrarily Directed Single Force

Figure 3

Validation of the present solution by comparing with the finite element results: elastic curved beams n = 0 (a) and functionally graded curved beams n = 2 (b).

(a) ρ = (r – a)/a

(b) ρ = (r – a)/a
