Abstract: In this paper the influence of geometry on the stability of a functionally graded material rotating beam is reported. The equation of motion is formulated using Hamilton’s principle in association with finite element analyses. Floquet’s theory was used for establishing the stability boundaries. The properties of functionally graded ordinary (FGO) and functionally graded sandwich (FGSW) beams under consideration are assumed to be graded following either power law or exponential law across the thickness of the beam. The effect of geometry in terms of slenderness parameter on the dynamic stability of both FGO & FGSW beams have been investigated. The increase in slenderness parameter enhances the stability of both the FGO and FGSW beams. Further it has been observed that exponential distribution of properties ensures better stability compared to power law distribution of properties.
