this article deals with the buckling analysis of perfectly bonded cross-ply laminated composite plates reinforced by wavy carbon nanotubes (cnts) under in-plane loads using element free galerkin (efg) method based on first-order shear deformation theory (fsdt). the wavy single-walled cnts and poly-co-vinylene are used for the fibers and the matrix, respectively. the cnt fibers are distributed i...

in this paper, the stability of a functionally graded magneto-electro-elastic (fg-mee) micro-beam under actuation of electrostatic pressure is studied. for this purpose euler-bernoulli beam theory and constitutive relations for magneto-electro-elastic (mee) materials have been used. we have supposed that material properties vary exponentially along the thickness direction of the micro-beam. gov...

in this article, thermal stability of beams made of functionally graded material (fgm) is considered. the derivations of equations are based on the one-dimensional theory of elasticity. the material properties vary continuously through the thickness direction. tanigawa's model for the variation of poisson's ratio, the modulus of shear stress, and the coefcient of thermal expansion is...

Synthesis of functionally gradient coating was the main goal of researches to cover some deficiencies of metallic coatings. In this study, a new strategy for generating functionally gradient coatings of nickel-chromium on a carbon steel substrate using pulse electrodeposition has been presented. The gradual changes of the duty cycle and pulse frequency were used to generate the functionally gra...

In this study, free vibration of functionally graded rectangular plates for various types of boundary conditions has been presented . The properties of the plate are assumed as power- law form along the thickness direction , while poisson's ratio is kept constant. the linear vibration equations of functionally graded rectangular plates are derived based on first order shear deformation theory b...

a plain strain analysis of frictional rolling contact on an elastic graded coating is presented in this paper. finite element method is applied to gain an understanding of the stresses and contact zone properties caused during rolling contact. the effects of friction, material stiffness ratio and coating thickness on stresses in contact zone and coating/substrate interface are studied. shear mo...

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...

This research develops thermo-elastic analysis of a functionally graded cylinder under thermo-mechanical loadings. Heat conduction equation in cylindrical coordinate system is solved. Thermal conductivity coefficient is graded along the radial direction. By considering a symmetric distribution of temperature, loading and boundary conditions, strain-displacement and stress-strain relations can b...
