Abstract:

The paper analyzed the thermal problem of the 2D FGM beam using meshless weighted least-square (MWLS) method. The MWLS as a meshless method is fully independent of mesh, and an approximate function was used to construct a series of linear equations to solve the unknown field variable, which avoided the troublesome task of numerical integration. The effectiveness and accuracy of the approach were illustrated by a clamped-clamped FGM beam which was subjected with interior heat source. The volume fraction of FGM beam was assumed to be given by a simple power law distribution. The effective material properties of the FGM beam were assumed to be temperature independent and calculated by Mori-Tanaka method. The results showed that a good agreement was achieved between the proposed meshless method and commercial COMSOL Multiphysics.
