[ 1 ] - Stress Intensity Factor Determination in Functionally Graded Materials, Considering Continuously Varying of Material Properties

In this paper, the plates made of functionally graded material (FGM) with and without a crack are numerically simulated, employing the finite element method (FEM). The material property variations are defined to be fully continuous; therefore, the elements can be as small as required. For this purpose, variations of the material properties are applied in both the integration points and in the n...
