Abstract. The evolution of Friction Stir Consolidation (FSC) from recycling towards upcycling technique proved to be one the excellent solid-state methods for manufacturing functionally graded billets. Multi-material Functional Graded Materials (FGMs) represent a novel class materials characterized by gradual change in properties and functions which can tailored enhance components performance. ...

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...

Abstract As a new type of material, functionally graded materials are widely used in industry, aerospace and other fields due to their special physical properties. Among them, there also many the thermal environment, existence environment will have great impact on stability moving object. Therefore, it is significance study axial motion temperature field. In this paper, taking axially plate as ...

The problem of several finite moving cracks in a functionally graded material is solved by dislocation technique under the condition of anti-plane deformation. By using the Fourier transform the stress fields are obtained for a functionally graded strip containing a screw dislocation. The stress components reveal the familiar Cauchy singularity at the location of dislocation. The solution is em...

Abstract  In this paper , the nonlinear the nonlinear free and forced axisymmetric vibration of a thin circular functionally graded plate with rigid core is formulated in terms of von-Karman’s dynamic equation , and a semi-analytical approach is developed.Functionally graded material (FGM) properties vary through the thickness of the plate.FGM s are spatial composites within which material prop...

Nonlinear behavior of a functionally graded cantilever beam is analyzed under non-uniform hygro-thermal effect. To solve this problem, finite element method is applied within plane solid continua. Total Lagrangian approach is utilized in the nonlinear kinematic relations. Newton-Raphson method with incremental displacement is used in nonlinear solution. Comparison study is performed. Effects of...

Although titanium/hydroxyapatite composite is an attractive material for dental implants, it would be more useful if it could be produced as a functionally graded material (FGM). In this paper, microstructure and microhardness of a five-layer titanium/hydroxyapatite functionally graded material has been investigated. First, titanium and hydroxyapatite (HA) powders were mixed with the Ti to HA v...

In this paper, finite element elastic contact analysis of a functionally graded (FG) hollow brake disk in contact with pad, subjected to rotation, contact pressure and frictional heat is presented. The material properties vary through the thickness according to a power-law characterised by a grading index, n. The material property is purely steel at the core part and gradually moves and appr...

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...
