This investigation focuses on the modal analysis of an axially functionally graded material beam under hygrothermal effect. The material constants of the beam are supposed to be graded smoothly along the axial direction under both power law and sigmoid law distribution. A finite element analysis with COMSOL Multiphysics® (version 5.2) package is used to find the Eigen frequencies of the beam. The accuracy of the technique is authenticated by relating the results with the prior investigation for reduced case. The effects of moisture changes, temperature, and volume fraction index, length-to-thickness ratio on the Eigen frequencies are investigated in detail. It is believed that the present investigation may be useful in the design of highly efficient environmental sensors for structural health monitoring perspective.
