Abstract: This paper investigates the free vibration characteristics and stability of a functionally graded Timoshenko beam spinning with variable angular speed. Material properties of the beam are assumed to be varied continuously along the thickness of the beam according to a power law and exponential law. The results show that increasing beam rotational speed increases fundamental mode frequency and the beam becomes more and more stable at higher speeds. This paper reports the dynamic behaviour of a rotating FGM beam subjected to axial periodic forces using the finite element method. The numerical results show good agreement with the reported beams models. Effects of static and time dependent components of axial loads on the stability of the FGM beam have been studied.
