Few Studies on Biomedical Applications of Functionally Graded Material

چکیده
Functionally graded materials (FGMs) are the advanced materials with varing properties in dimensions. These are made of two or more constituent phases with continuous and smoothly varying composition in preferred directions. The properties of material depend on the spatial position in the structure of material. These materials are gaining attention for biomedical application as biomaterials owing to flexibility in properties as desired. Living tissues like bones and teeth are characterized as functionally graded material from nature. To replace these tissues, FGM serve an ideal compatible material. FGM has find wide range of application in dental and orthopedic applications for teeth and bone replacement. This paper review the biomedical applications of FGM as biomaterial for knee implant and dental implant.

In this paper, buckling behavior of moderately thick functionally graded rectangular plates resting on elastic foundation subjected to linearly varying in-plane loading is investigated. The neutral surface position for a functionally graded plate which its material properties vary in the thickness direction is determined. Based on the first-order shear deformation plate theory and the neutral s...
متن کاملApplication 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...
متن کاملDelamination of Two-Dimensional Functionally Graded Multilayered Non-Linear Elastic Beam - an Analytical Approach
Delamination fracture of a two-dimensional functionally graded multilayered four-point bending beam that exhibits non-linear behaviour of the material is analyzed. The fracture is studied analytically in terms of the strain energy release rate. The beam under consideration has an arbitrary number of layers. Each layer has individual thickness and material properties. A delamination crack is loc...
