In this study an analytical method is developed to obtain the response of electro-magneto-thermo-elastic stress and perturbation of a magnetic field vector for a thick-walled spherical functionally graded piezoelectric material (FGPM). The hollow sphere, which is placed in a uniform magnetic field, is subjected to a temperature gradient, inner and outer pressures and a constant electric potenti...

We formulate and solve a problem of reconstruction the unknown time-dependent temperature distribution on one boundary surface functionally graded hollow sphere according to radial displacements other surface. suggest procedure reducing formulated inverse thermoelasticity problem. By applying finite-difference method, we construct numerical algorithm aimed at solving obtained using solution dir...

In the present article, the thermal analysis of the cylinder and the piston in four-cylinder engines, made of functionally graded materials (FGMs), has been performed by using the super element method. The objective of using FGMs in the cylinder and the piston is to increase their performance. FGMs include a combination of ceramics and metals. Inside the cylinder, the ceramic is considered and ...

in this study, the analysis of transient thermoelastic response of a functionally graded (fg) non-axisymmetric viscoelastic cylinder is presented. the material properties are assumed to be time- dependent and radially and circumferentially non-homogeneous. the finite element (fe) formulations of the thermoelastic problem are obtained using the virtual work method and all the coupling terms are ...

The effects of both material data uncertainties the constituents and volume fraction deviations from design values caused by manufacturing process on forecasted stresses in a spherical container functionally graded (FGM) are investigated. Specifically, steel/alumina hollow sphere subject to internal pressure homogeneous heating is studied. It shown that even moderate may cause large expectation...

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...

Experiments were conducted to obtain the modal damping ratios of two hollow cylinders of different thicknesses of Aluminum. An electro dynamic exciter with slip table is used to excite the hollow cylinders. The hollow cylinder (unit under test) is fastened to the exciter. The exciter is placed in the horizontal direction and connected to the slip table. A control accelerometer is placed at the ...
