Functionally graded materials, as a branch of new materials, have attracted increasing attention in recent years. A survey in the literature reveals the existence of wealth investigations on analysis of functionally graded material beams. Among them, Kang and Lee [1] presented explicit expressions for deflection and rotation of an FGM cantilever beam subjected to an end moment. Considering the ...

In the present work, six-layered (Zirconia/Nickel) functionally graded materials were fabricated via powder metallurgy technique (PMT). The microstructure, fracture surface and the elemental analysis of the prepared components were studied, and their linear shrinkage, electrical conductivity, fracture toughness and Vickers hardness were evaluated. The results show that the linear shrinkage of t...

In this article, the effect of size-dependent on the buckling and vibration analysis of functionally graded (FG) double-layer boron nitride plate based on classical plate theory (CPT) under electro-thermo-mechanical loadings which is surrounded by elastic foundation is examined. This subject is developed using modified couple stress theory. Using Hamilton's principle, the governing equations of...
