In this paper, static and free vibrations behaviors of the orthotropic functionally graded material (FGM) plates resting on the two-parameter elastic foundation are analyzed by the a mesh-free method based on the first order shear deformation plate theory (FSDT). The mesh-free method is based on moving least squares (MLS) shape functions and essential boundary conditions are imposed by transfer...

A fully analytical theory is developed to derive the field diffracted by an infinitely long circular cylinder made of an arbitrary anisotropic homogeneous material, illuminated by an arbitrary plane wave.

Particulate functionally graded materials (FGM) made of glass-filled epoxy with edge cracks parallel to the direction of the elastic gradient and subjected to pure bending have been studied. Crack tip measurements are used to examine continuum models for FGMs by treating the material as isotropic and nonhomogeneous at macroscales. Situations where cracks are located on the compliant and the sti...

This study provides an approach to predict the springback phenomenon during post-solidification cooling in a functionally graded hybrid composite cylindrical shell with a transverse isotropic structure. Here, the material properties are given with a general parabolic power-law function. During the theoretical analysis, an appropriate transformation is introduced in the equilibrium equation, whi...

The present study deals with the elastic analysis of concave thickness rotating disks made of functionally graded materials (FGMs).The analysis is carried out using element based gradation of material properties in radial direction over the discretized domain. The resulting deformation and stresses are evaluated for free-free boundary condition and the effect of grading index on the deformation...

This study presents critical buckling of functionally graded soft ferromagnetic porous (FGFP) rectangular plates, under magnetic field with simply supported boundary condition. Equilibrium and stability equations of a porous rectangular plate in transverse magnetic field are derived. The geometrical nonlinearities are considered in the Love-Kirchhoff hypothesis sense. The formulations are compa...

The present study aims to investigate the analysis of stress, strain, displacement, and electrical potential of a thick hollow cylinder made of FGPM under mechanical and thermal loads. Distribution of mechanical property of material is considered along the shell stick through the power distribution function. Thermal loads have been taken to signify the difference of temperature between outer an...

Abstract-We analyze a three-dimensional frictional contact problem between a homogeneous and isotropic linear elastic body and a substrate consisting of a homogeneous and isotropic linear elastic half-space coated with a transversely isotropic elastic layer. The problem formulation includes the kinematics of the body, including its rolling/sliding on the substrate. Expressions relating the disp...

In this article, the magneto-thermo-elastic problem of exponentially graded material (EGM) hollow rotating disk placed in uniform magnetic and temperature fields is considered. Exact solutions for stresses and perturbations of the magnetic field vector in EGM hollow rotating disk are determined using the infinitesimal theory of magneto-thermo-elasticity under plane stress. The material properti...
