cylinders utilising elastic materials of cylindrical anisotropy. The formulation is based on linear three dimensional elasticity using an analytic form for the displacement field. A similar formulation has been used in the study of waves in plates and more recently, by the authors, in homogeneous cylinders. We have now developed the necessary formulas to apply it to cylinders in which the inhom...

Functionally graded metal-ceramic composite was fabricated by pressure-less sintering. The pure metallic component (Ti) and the pure ceramic component (HA) were located at the ends of a cylindrical specimen. Titanium and-Hydroxyapatite were utilized as a metallic and ceramic layer. The target sample thickness was 6 mm with radius cylindrical 20 mm. The sample was made from the cylindrical type ...

Passive cooling of electronics systems requires the use fins and spines. Improved heat transfer enhancements in have been achieved through porosity, magnetic field, functionally graded materials, etc. However, space time-dependent analysis passive device with inherent nonlinearities explorations conditions at tip not fully presented. Therefore, this work presents an application hybrid computati...

in this paper a mesh-free model of the functionally graded material (fgm) plate is presented.  the piezoelectric material as a sensor and actuator has been distributed on the top and bottom of the plate, respectively. the formulation of the problem is based on the classical laminated plate theory (clpt) and the principle of virtual displacements. moreover, the particle swarm optimization (pso) ...

In this Paper, we investigate numerically and analytically the thermal conductivity of nanoscale graphene disks (NGDs), and discussed the possibility to realize functionally graded material (FGM) with only one material, NGDs. Different from previous studies on divergence/non-diffusive of thermal conductivity in nano-structures with different size, we found a novel non-homogeneous (graded) therm...

As functionally graded material (FGM) plates are widely used in engineering and industrial fields, the fracture strength evaluation of cracked FGM plate becomes increasingly important. However, due to gradation mechanical properties FGM, few analytical methods simple available. In this paper, a convenient method for under different loadings is proposed terms stress intensity factor (SIF) appear...

This study presents experimental and computational analyses of the phase composition mechanical behavior a functionally graded material (FGM) grading from 100 vol% 304L stainless steel (SS304L) to Ni-20Cr (NiCr) in 10 increments. The FGM was evaluated by extracting tensile specimens SS304L-rich NiCr-rich regions FGM, with former behaving ductile manner latter being relatively brittle. brittle r...

This paper deals with the modeling and process planning of solid freeform fabrication (SFF) of 3D functionally graded materials (FGMs). A novel approach of representation and process planning of FGMs, termed as equal distance offset (EDO), is developed. In EDO, a neutral arbitrary 3D CAD model is adaptively sliced into a series of 2D layers. Within each layer, 2D material gradients are designed...

In this paper, an investigation of linear eigenvalue buckling functionally graded material (FGM) plates under uniaxial loading is carried out. The computer model analyzed using the finite element (FE) package ABAQUS. An analysis out to study effect size and geometry openings in FGM plate on critical load. circular, square, diamond vary based ratio opening diameter width plate. Moreover, aspect ...
