Designation principle and method for functionally graded composite pavement

Comparison study between layered and functionally graded composite beams for static deflection and stress analyses

The aim of this paper is to compare the static deflections and stress results of layered and functionally graded composite beams under static load. In the comparison study, the results obtained for a cantilever beam under point load. The Timoshenko beam and the Euler-Bernoulli beam theories are used in the beam model. The energy based Ritz method is used for the solution of the problem and alge...

Stability, Dynamic and Aeroelastic Optimization of Functionally Graded Composite Structures

Steady State Creep Behavior of Functionally Graded Composite by using Analytical Method

The Steady state creep behaviour of a functionally graded cylinder made of isotropic composite containing varying distribution of silicon carbide particles has been investigated by a mathematical model. The creep behaviour of the FGM is described by a Norton's Power law. The effect of varying distribution of SiCP particles of creep stresses and creep rates in the FGM cylinder has been anal...

A Quasi-3D Polynomial Shear and Normal Deformation Theory for Laminated Composite, Sandwich, and Functionally Graded Beams

Bending analyses of isotropic, functionally graded, laminated composite, and sandwich beams are carried out using a quasi-3D polynomial shear and normal deformation theory. The most important feature of the proposed theory is that it considers the effects of transverse shear and transverse normal deformations. It accounts for parabolic variations in the strain/stress produced by transverse shea...
