This paper presents the study on influence external pressures on vibration of functionally graded materials thin-walled cylindrical shell supported. The functionally graded materials (FGMs) properties are graded in the thickness direction of the shell. FGMs are advanced composite materials, consisting of different types of materials, in which the properties shift continuously from one material ...

BACKGROUND Female genital mutilation/cutting (FGM/C) is a harmful traditional practice with severe consequences for the health and well-being of girls and women. Health care professionals (HCPs) are therefore expected to be aware of how to identify and manage these consequences in order to ensure that those affected by the practice receive quality health care. Moreover, their integration and le...

This article focuses on the analytical solution for uniform heating of a FGM hollow sphere made of two phase of different materials. It is assumed that the volume fraction of one phase is a function f1 = (rn−an)/(bn−an) varied in the radial direction. Based on the Voigt constant strain approximation, analytical solutions of stresses, displacements and the effective coefficient of thermal expans...

1. Abstract Equations governing the behavior of rectangular plates made of functionally graded materials (FGMs) are determined in this paper using the variational approach. Derivation of such equations is based on Reissner–Mindlin plate theory that is extended to handle two-constituent material distribution through the thickness. Material properties are assumed to vary with the power law in ter...

An extension of FGM class of bivariate distributions with given marginals is presented. For Huang-Kotz FGM distributions some theorems characterizing symmetry and conditions for independence are obtained. The new family of distributions allows us to achieve correlation between the components greater than 0.5.

The initiation and propagation of adiabatic shear bands (ASBs) in functionally graded materials (FGMs) deformed at high strain rates in plane-strain tension have been studied. An ASB is a narrow region, usually a few micrometers wide, of intense plastic deformation that forms after softening of the material due to its being heated up and the evolution of damage in the form of porosity has overc...

We report a case of an inclusion cyst, resulting from female genital mutilation (FGM), which enlarged to such a degree that it restricted the patient's movement. This report aims to raise the awareness of the medical community to the dangers that arise from a common remote complication of FGM.

Abstract This paper deals with functionally graded materials (FGM) as modern in transport vehicles. Basic methods of FGM production and areas their application are presented, well an example modelling plate. Bending freely supported square plates under the influence sinusoidal transverse load was analyzed. The made metal (aluminium) ceramic (alumina) which material characteristics change a func...

OBJECTIVES To compare hyaluronic acid fat graft myringoplasty (HAFGM) with fat graft myringoplasty (FGM) on grade I tympanic membrane perforations (TMPs) (<25% of the tympanic membrane surface) and to assess 12-month postoperative hearing outcomes in a pediatric population. DESIGN Prospective study. SETTING Tertiary care pediatric center. PATIENTS Ninety-two children with a TMP were include...

Image processing, power engineering, robotics, industrial automation etc., have all found successful uses for artificial intelligence (AI) techniques such as neural networks (ANN) and neuro-fuzzy logic (FL). In this study, an adaptive inference system (ANFIS) modelling of machine learning (ML) has been implemented to estimate the tribological properties functionally graded materials (FGM). Thes...
