The mechanical response of materials with spatial gradients in composition and structure is of considerable interest in disciplines as diverse as tribology, geology, optoelectronics, biomechanics, fracture mechanics, and nanotechnology. The damage and failure resistance of surfaces to normal and sliding contact or impact can be changed substantially through such gradients. This review assesses ...

In this study, the variational method and numerical simulation technique were used to solve problem of bimodular functionally graded thin plates under large deformation. During application method, functional was established on elastic strain energy plate while variation in realized by changing undetermined coefficients functional. As a result, classical Ritz adopted obtain important relationshi...
