Free vibration of exponential functionally graded beams with single delamination by Xiao, Jing, Shu, Dongwei, Liu, Yang

“…This is the first study on the influences of delamination (its length and location) on the vibration of exponential functionally graded beams. Results show that the natural frequency increases as the Young's modulus ratio increases, but such increase is smaller when the beam suffers a longer delamination. …”
