In this paper, the divergent instability and coupled flutter characteristics of axially moving beams made functionally graded materials (FGM) are studied using interpolation matrix method. The material property beam is designed to change smoothly continuously along thickness direction. considering Euler-Bernoulli theory, Hamilton’s principle used derive differential equation transverse vibratio...

in this paper, a nonlinear free vibration analysis of thin annular functionally graded (fg) plate integrated with two uniformly distributed actuator layers made of piezoelectric (pzt4) material on the top and bottom surfaces of the annular fg plate is presented based on kirchhoff plate theory. the material properties of the fgm core plate are assumed to be graded in the thickness direction acco...

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...

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 ...

the current study presents a new analytical method for buckling analysis of rectangular and annular beams made up of functionally graded materials with constant thickness and poisson’s ratio. the boundary conditions of the beam are assumed to be simply supported and clamped. the stability equations were obtained by using conservation of energy. the critical buckling load and first mode shape we...

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...
