A semi-analytical method is used to study the effects of the multi vibration absorbers on the nonlinear functionally graded (FG) Euler-Bernoulli beam subjected to periodic load. The material properties of the beam are assumed to be continuously graded in the thickness direction. The governing equations of functionally graded beam are obtained based on the Hamilton's principle and these equation...

The effects of loading conditions, specimen size and metal particle size on the crack growth resistance curve (R-curve) and residual strength of a ceramic-metal functionally graded material (FGM) are studied based on the crack-bridging concept. It is found that the FGM exhibits strong R-curve behavior when a crack grows from the ceramic-rich region toward the metal-rich region and the residual ...

Second-order shear deformation theory (SSDT) is employed to analyze vibration of temperature-dependent solar functionally graded plates (SFGP’s). Power law material properties and linear steady-state thermal loads are assumed to be graded along the thickness. Two different types of SFGP’s such as ZrO2/Ti-6Al-4V and Si3N4/SUS304 are considered. Uniform, linear, nonlinear, heat-flux and sinusoida...

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 ...

Dynamic crack propagation assessment in functionally graded materials (FGMs) with micro-cracks is accomplished using bond-based Peridynamics (PD). The dynamic fracture behaviour of various FGMs’ material models studied Kalthoff–Winkler experiment. growth predictions and associated damage the specimen under loading conditions are considered. effect near macro-crack tips on toughening mechanism e...

Thermal buckling behavior of functionally graded Euler-Bernoulli beams in thermal conditions is investigated analytically. The beam with material and thermal properties dependent on the temperature and position is considered. Based on the transformed-section method, the functionally graded beam is considered as an equivalent homogeneous Euler-Bernoulli beam with an effective bending rigidity un...

in this study, the analysis of transient thermoelastic response of a functionally graded (fg) non-axisymmetric viscoelastic cylinder is presented. the material properties are assumed to be time- dependent and radially and circumferentially non-homogeneous. the finite element (fe) formulations of the thermoelastic problem are obtained using the virtual work method and all the coupling terms are ...

The present paper provides a semi-analytical solution to obtain the displacements and stresses in a functionally graded material (FGM) rotating thick cylindrical shell with clamped ends under non-uniform pressure. Material properties of cylinder are assumed to change along the axial direction according to a power law form. It is also assumed that the Poisson’s ratio is constant. Given the exist...

In this work, a 316L stainless steel to Inconel 625 functionally graded material (FGM) was built using different deposition strategies (named as direct and smooth-type interfaces) by Twin-Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (T-WAAM). This combination of materials is interest in chemical plants, oil & gas, nuclear applications, where high corrosion wear resistance are essential requirements. Althoug...

Laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) of multi-material and functionally graded materials (FGM) has attracted significant research interest due to its ability fabricate components with superior performance compared those manufactured single material. However, the forming mechanisms various defects remain unknown. In this paper, a DEM-CFD model was first established obtain an in-depth understanding pro...
