In this research static deflection and free vibration of homogeneous nanobeams coated by a functionally graded (FG) layer is investigated according to the nonlocal elasticity theory. A higher order beam theory is used that does not need the shear correction factor. The equations of motion (equilibrium equations) are extracted by using Hamilton’s principle. The material properties are considered...

In this paper, an exact analytical solution for free vibration of rotating bi-layered cylindrical shell composed of two independent functionally graded layers was presented. The thicknesses of the shell layers were assumed to be equal and constant. The material properties of the constituents of bi-layered FGM cylindrical shell were graded in the thickness direction of the layers of the shell ac...

In this study, the buckling behavior of moderately thick Carbon Nano-Tube (CNT)-reinforced spherical composite panels subjected to both uniaxial and biaxial loads is examined. The uniform and various kinds of functionally graded distributions of the CNT are considered. The mechanical properties of the nanocomposite panels are estimated using the modified rule of mixture. Based on the first-orde...

This paper presents the testing campaign of two First Wall mock-ups in HELOKA facility, one mock-up having a 3 mm thick Oxide Dispersion Strengthened (ODS) steel layer on its surface and other featuring tungsten functionally graded cover. Special consideration is given to diagnostics used for these tests, particular, measurement temperature with an infrared camera. Additionally, looks into unce...

The problem of several finite moving cracks in a functionally graded material is solved by dislocation technique under the condition of anti-plane deformation. By using the Fourier transform the stress fields are obtained for a functionally graded strip containing a screw dislocation. The stress components reveal the familiar Cauchy singularity at the location of dislocation. The solution is em...

in this paper, stress and displacement fields of functionally graded (fg) nanocomposite cylinders reinforced by carbon nanotubes (cnts) subjected to internal pressure and in thermal environment are investigated by finite element method. the nanocomposite cylinders are combinations of single-walled carbon nanotubes (swcnts) and isotropic matrix. material properties are estimated by a micro mecha...

Abstract In this paper, we propose a specific two-layer model consisting of functionally graded (FG) layer and piezoelectric semiconductor (PS) layer. Based on the macroscopic theory PS materials, effects brought about by attached FG piezotronic behaviors homogeneous n-type fibers PN junctions are investigated. The semi-analytical solutions electromechanical fields obtained expanding displaceme...
