This paper investigates the lateral buckling of simply supported nonprismatic I-beams with axially varying materials by a novel finite element formulation. The material properties of the beam are assumed to vary continuously through the axis according to the volume fraction of the constituent materials based on an exponential or a power law. The torsion governing equilibrium equation of the simply supported beam with free warping is numerically solved by employing the power series approximation. To this end, all the mechanical properties and displacement components are expanded in terms of the power series to a known degree. Then the shape functions are obtained by representing the deformation shape of the axially functionally graded (AFG) web and/or flanges tapered thin-walled beam in a power series form. At the end, new [Formula: see text] elastic and buckling stiffness matrices are exactly determined from the weak form expression of the governing equation. Three comprehensive examples each of axially nonhomogeneous and homogeneous tapered beams with doubly symmetric I-sections are presented to evaluate the effects of different parameters such as axial variation of material properties, tapering ratio and load height parameters on the lateral buckling strength of the beam. The numerical outcomes of this paper can serve as a benchmark for future studies on lateral-torsional critical loads of AFG beams with varying I-sections.
