free vibration of sandwich plates with temperature dependent functionally graded (fg) face sheets in various thermal environments is investigated. the material properties of fg face sheets are assumed to be temperature-dependent and vary continuously through the thickness according to a power-law distribution in terms of the volume fractions of the constituents. also, the material properties of...

the present research attempts to explain dynamic pull-in instability of functionally graded micro-cantilevers actuated by step dc voltage while the fringing-field effect is taken into account in the vibrational equation of motion. by employing modern asymptotic approach namely homotopy perturbation method with an auxiliary term, high-order frequency-amplitude relation is obtained, then the infl...

this research develops thermo-elastic analysis of a functionally graded cylinder under thermo-mechanical loadings. heat conduction equation in cylindrical coordinate system is solved. thermal conductivity coefficient is graded along the radial direction. by considering a symmetric distribution of temperature, loading and boundary conditions, strain-displacement and stress-strain relations can b...

Abstract The present research focuses on two-dimensional deformation in a functionally graded thermoelastic micro-elongated medium. It is supposed that the non-homogeneous properties (thermal and mechanical) of FGM are x-direction. normal mode technique used to acquire analytic expression for displacement components, stress, micro-elongation temperature. cause effect relationship non-homogeneit...

In this work, a functionally graded material (FGM) part was fabricated by depositing Cu-based alloy on top of high strength low (HSLA) steel twin-wire and arc additive manufacturing (T-WAAM). Copper parts are interest in many industries since they can combine thermal/electrical conductivity, wear resistance with excellent mechanical properties. However, mixing copper is difficult due to mismatc...

In this paper, dynamic behavior of a functionally graded cantilever micro-beam and its pull-in instability, subjected to simultaneous effects of a thermal moment and nonlinear electrostatic pressure, has been studied. It has been assumed that the top surface is made of pure metal and the bottom surface from a metal–ceramic mixture. The ceramic constituent percent of the bottom surface ranges fr...

Tribological behavior of powder metallurgically processes AlSi-MWCNT functionally graded materials was apparatus with pins on discs examined. Using a Taguchi design experiments, the signal-to-noise ratio, analysis variance, and an orthogonal array were all used to determine best testing parameters. Analysis revealed wear loss occurs due increase in load sliding distance reduced MWCNT increased ...
