Based on the Euler–Bernoulli beam theory, an analytical closed-form solution to the lateral-torsional buckling moment of a bidirectional exponentially functionally graded monosymmetric C-shaped beam is proposed. The Young’s and shear moduli of the beam vary along its height and length direction. An...
