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...

The aim of this paper is to investigate the buckling behavior porous Functionally Graded Materiel (FGM) cylindrical shells based on Donnell shell theory. In context, we develop an explicit analytical expression which takes into consideration effect porosities through thickness structure and that elastic foundation using a modified power-law function models Winkler Pasternak, respectively. We us...

Functionally graded materials (FGM) present enormous potential to combine with distinct mechanical and thermal properties in a component via compositional gradient throughout the body. In work, step Al2O3/NbC composites were assessed order obtain FGM high hardness good fracture toughness. Step uniaxially pressed cylinders consolidated by Spark plasma sintering (SPS) into fully dense (>99% TD) c...

Abstract In functionally graded heat-resisting material, the volume fraction of constituents varies and continuously, these are examined for high temperature engineering applications. By spatial distribution thermal behaviour FGMs is strongly influenced. Thus, determination becomes a critical part in FGM design given loading condition specification. present work, averaging estimation approach v...

the current study presents a new analytical method for buckling analysis of circular plates with constant thickness and poisson’s ratio, made of functionally graded material subjected to radial load. governing equations are based on energy method for thin plates. the boundary conditions of the plate are assumed to be simply supported and clamped. the stability equations were obtained by using c...

A novel and effective formulation that combines the eXtended IsoGeometric Approach (XIGA) and higher-order shear deformation theory (HSDT) is proposed to study the free vibration of cracked functionally graded material (FGM) plates. Herein, the general HSDT model with five unknown variables per node is applied for calculating the stiffness matrix without needing shear correction factor (SCF). I...

Probabilistic fracture analyses are performed for investigating uncertain fracture response of Functionally Graded Material (FGM) structures. The First-Order-Reliability-Method (FORM) is implemented into an existing Finite Element code for FGM (FE-FGM), which was previously developed at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign [2]. The computational simulation will be used in order to est...

Mixed-mode dynamic crack growth behavior in a compositionally graded particle filled polymer is studied experimentally and computationally. Beams with single edge cracks initially aligned in the direction of the compositional gradient and subjected to one-point eccentric impact loading are examined. Optical interferometry along with high-speed photography is used to measure surface deformations...
