background: titanium (ti) implants are commonly coated with hydroxyapatite (ha). however, ha has some disadvantages such as brittleness, low tensile strength and fracture toughness. it is desirable to combine the excellent mechanical properties of zro2 and the chemical inertness of al2o3 with respect to the purpose of this project which was coating ti implants with ha-zro2-al2o3 to modify the s...

in the present work, study of the vibration of a functionally graded (fg) cylindrical shell made up of stainless steel, zirconia, and nickel is presented. free vibration analysis is presented for fg cylindrical shells with simply supported-simply supported and clamped–clamped boundary condition based on temperature independent material properties. the equations of motion are derived by hamilton...

free vibration of sandwich plates with temperature dependent functionally graded (fg) face sheets in various thermal environments is investigated. the material properties of fg face sheets are assumed to be temperature-dependent and vary continuously through the thickness according to a power-law distribution in terms of the volume fractions of the constituents. also, the material properties of...

the present research attempts to explain dynamic pull-in instability of functionally graded micro-cantilevers actuated by step dc voltage while the fringing-field effect is taken into account in the vibrational equation of motion. by employing modern asymptotic approach namely homotopy perturbation method with an auxiliary term, high-order frequency-amplitude relation is obtained, then the infl...

non-fourier heat transfer analysis of functionally graded (fg) spherical shells subjected to the radiative-convective boundary conditions at their inner and outer surfaces are presented. it is assumed that the material properties have continuous variations along the thickness direction. the incremental differential quadrature method (idqm) as an accurate and computationally efficient numerical ...

Bioceramic coatings like hydroxyapatite (HA) have shown promising bioactive properties in load-bearing implant applications. The aim of this work is to deposit functionally graded HA/Ti layers consisting of an underlying Ti bond coat, the alternating layer, and an HA top-layer on Ti6Al4V substrates using plasma spray to improve the coating-substrate interface properties. The alternating layers ...
