A closed-form solution for deflections and stresses in an annular thin plate of radially functionally graded material under transverse uniform pressure loading is presented. The small displacement theory of elasticity is assumed in the present work. Young’s modulus of the material is taken in the form of a simple power law to vary in the radial direction with an arbitrary exponent showing heter...

Abstract. The study investigated the tensile behavior of Sandwich Functionally Graded Material (SFGM) fabricated using Additive Manufacturing (AM) technology. SFGMs are characterized by a gradual variation in composition and structure with respect to forming volume from lower upper surfaces towards center, resulting corresponding change material properties. Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF), wid...

The problem treated here is to determinethe viscosity effect on stresses, temperature change and chemical potential in a circular plate. The mathematical formulation is applied to two theories of thermoelastic diffusion developed by Sherief et al. [27] with one relaxation time and Kumar and Kansal [9]with two relaxation times. Laplace and Hankel transform techniques are used to obtain the expre...

this paper deals with the determination of displacement function and thermal stresses of a finite length isotropic functionally graded hollow cylinder subjected to uniform temperature field. the solution of the governing thermoelastic equation is obtained, as suggested by spencer et al. for anisotropic laminates.  numerical calculations are also carried out for fgm (functionally graded material...

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 ...

Abstract This research investigates the effects of cut-out on dynamic behaviour functionally graded carbon nanotube reinforced composite (FGCNTRC) plates. Finite element method (FEM) is utilized and SHELL181 type ANSYS Workbench 17.2 program utilized. To understand vibration characteristics FG plates, various shapes cut-outs such as triangular, square, rectangular, hexagonal, circular etc are c...
