in this article, thermal stability of beams made of functionally graded material (fgm) is considered. the derivations of equations are based on the one-dimensional theory of elasticity. the material properties vary continuously through the thickness direction. tanigawa's model for the variation of poisson's ratio, the modulus of shear stress, and the coefcient of thermal expansion is...

Abstract This research work presents an innovative utility of Functionally Graded Aluminum Matrix Composite with Silicon Carbide as a friction material in clutches’ plate since it has acceptable coefficient and high wear resistance which may lead to longer working life. Composite’s properties are calculated using rule-of-mixture power law, simulated layered geometry. Clutches designed based on ...

This paper presents thermal buckling analysis of rectangular functionally graded plates (FG plates) with an eccentrically located elliptic cutout. The plate governing equations derived by the first order shear deformation theory (FSDT) and finite element formulation is developed to analyze the plate behavior subjected to a uniform temperature rise across plate thickness. It is assumed that the ...
