Designing the energy absorption capacity of functionally graded foam materials

Disk Vibration Analysis of Functionally Graded Materials

Perforated discs have many applications in different parts of industry. By making such disks of functionally graded materials, more capabilities can be obtained from them. Vibration analysis of these kinds of disks can help us make them more efficient. In this paper, modeling and evaluation of disk vibration of functionally graded materials with regard to thickness were carried out using Abaqus...

Functionally Graded Materials

Thermoelastic simulation of functionally graded materials is practically important for engineers. Here, the extension and assembly of our two previous papers (Computational Mechanics 2006, 38, p51-60; Engineering Analysis with Boundary Elements 2008, 32, p704-712) is presented to evaluate the transient temperature and stress distributions in two-dimensional functionally graded solids. In this c...

Functionally Graded Biomimetic Energy Absorption Concept Development for Transportation Systems

Application of Piezoelectric and Functionally Graded Materials in Designing Electrostatically Actuated Micro Switches

In this research, a functionally graded microbeam bonded with piezoelectric layers is analyzed under electric force. Static and dynamic instability due to the electric actuation is studied because of its importance in micro electro mechanical systems, especially in micro switches. In order to prevent pull-in instability, two piezoelectric layers are used as sensor and actuator. A current amplif...

measurement the absorption capacity of solar energy storage technology

Although solar energy is one of the most important renewable energies in Iran that most areas of the country, especially the Central Desert, have considerable ability to use, but the random nature of this type of energy makes it difficult to predict its output power and may cause problems in the performance of the feed systems. For this reason, the use of energy storage systems for periods of l...
