In Navier's method, different trigonometric series functions are proposed for each boundary condition. The accuracy of these proposed functions was investigated and compared with the literature. It is also presented in a parametric study. The governing equations are derived according to Lagrange's principle. The variation of the components of the beam material in the volume is defined by a power-law rule. The normalized maximum transverse deflections, the normalized axial and transverse shear stresses are obtained for various boundary conditions, gradation exponents (p(x), p(z)) in the x- and z-directions, and the slenderness (L/h). The trigonometric series functions used in this study give results that are quite compatible with the literature. In addition, the parametric study contributes to the literature.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessTwo-directional functionally graded materialsNavier's methodBending analysisFirst-order shear deformation theoryTrigonometric series functionsArticle9261841185810.1007/s00419-022-02152-y2-s2.0-85128545965Q2WOS:000784610500001Q2
