Table 3 Calculation errors in different number of elements

From: Static and natural frequency investigation of FGP beams considering thermal effects and design parameters

Volume fraction index n = 0.2 and L/h = 25

Maximum dimensionless deflection of free end of a clamped-free FGPM beam under electrical and mechanical loading by Yang and Xiang [9] is about = 764.572
