the problem of several finite moving cracks in a functionally graded material is solved by dislocation technique under the condition of anti-plane deformation. by using the fourier transform the stress fields are obtained for a functionallygraded strip containing a screw dislocation. the stress components reveal the familiar cauchy singularity at thelocation of dislocation. the solution is empl...

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...

In this paper the radial deformation and the corresponding stresses in a functionally graded orthotropic hollow cylinder with the variation in thickness and density according to power law and rotating about its axis under pressure is investigated by using Seth's transition theory. The material of the cylinder is assumed to be non-homogeneous and orthotropic. This theory helps to achieve better ...

Model personalization is essential for model-based surgical planning and treatment assessment. As alteration in material elasticity is a fundamental cause to various cardiac pathologies, estimation of material properties is important to model personalization. Although the myocardium is heterogeneous, hyperelastic, and orthotropic, existing image-based estimation frameworks treat the tissue as e...

Analytical analysis reveals that the velocity of propagation of the shear waves depends upon the direction of propagation, the anisotropy, gravity field, non-ho...

In this paper static analysis of orthotropic functionally graded material (FGM) cylinders with finite length was carried out by a mesh-free method. MLS shape functions are used for approximation of displacement field in the weak form of equilibrium equation and essential boundary conditions are imposed by transformation method. In this simulation, an ax symmetric model is used. Mechanical prope...

In this paper, plane thermo-elastic solutions are presented for the problem of a crack in two bonded homogeneous orthotropic media with a graded interfacial zone. The graded interfacial zone is treated as a nonhomogeneous interlayer having spatially varying thermo-elastic moduli between dissimilar, homogeneous orthotropic half-planes, which is assumed to vary exponentially in the direction perp...

A simple model presented here is to study the thermal effect on vibration of non-homogeneous orthotropic visco-elastic rectangular plate of parabolically varying thickness having clamped boundary conditions on all the four edges. For non-homogeneity of the plate material, density is assumed to vary linearly in one direction. Using the separation of variables method, the governing differential e...

This study analyzes the free vibration, forced vibration, resonance, and stress wave propagation of orthotropic sandwich plates made of functionally graded materials (FGMs). Dynamic analyses are conducted using a mesh-free method based on first-order shear deformation theory and the shape functions constructed using moving least squares approximation. The sandwich plates are rested on a Pastern...
