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 deals with local buckling analysis of rectangular functionally graded material plates using finite strip method and based on classical plate theory. the modulus of elasticity of the plate is assumed to vary according to a power-law distribution in terms of the volume fractions of the constituents. the principle of minimum total potential energy is employed to obtain stiffness and sta...

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...

The aim of the study was to evaluate the core veneer bond strength of graded zirconia combinations and compared those to conventional zirconia combinations after thermal and mechanical tests. Conventional zirconia-veneer combinations and graded zirconia-veneer combinations were made into cylinders. Prior to shear bond testing, half of each group was subjected to thermal and mechanical cycling t...

In this paper, the modified couple stress theory is used to study vibration analysis of functionally graded rectangular micro-plates. Considering classical and first order plate theories, the couple governing equations of motion are obtained by using the Hamilton’s principle. Considering an assumed mode method, the accurate size dependent natural frequencies are established for simply supported...

Safety analysis has been done for the torsion of a functionally graded thick-walled  circular cylinder under internal and external pressure subjected to thermal loading. In order to determine stresses the concept of Seth’s transition theory based on generalized principal strain measure has been used. This theory simplifies the set of mechanical equations by mentioning the order of the measure of...

A mixed semi-analytical cum numerical approach is presented in this paper which accounts for the coupled mechanical and electrical response of piezoelectric, functionally graded (FG) and layered composite hollow circular cylinders of finite length. Under axisymmetric mechanical and electrical loadings, the three-dimensional problem (3D) gets reduced to a two-dimensional (2D) plane strain proble...
