In this paper, the effect of autofrettage process parameters on the ultimate pressure that functionally graded spherical vessel can tolerate are investigated. FGM properties and autofrettage pressure are considered as important parameters. Assumptions are variation of properties of FGM in radial direction, the residual stress in the absence of Bauschinger effect with the operation of variable m...

In this paper, the influence of the elastic foundation on the free vibration and buckling of thin-walled piezoelectric-based functionally graded materials (FGM) cylindrical shells under combined loadings is investigated. The equations of motion are obtained by using the principle of Hamilton and Maxwell's equations and the Navier's type solution used to solve these equations. Material propertie...

In the present study, three layers of the ascending aorta in respect to the time and space at various blood pressures have been simulated. Two well-known commercial finite element (FE) software have used to be able to provide a range of reliable numerical results while independent on the software type. The radial displacement compared with the time as well as the peripheral stress and von Mises...

this paper deals with the determination of displacement function and thermal stresses of a finite length isotropic functionally graded hollow cylinder subjected to uniform temperature field. the solution of the governing thermoelastic equation is obtained, as suggested by spencer et al. for anisotropic laminates.  numerical calculations are also carried out for fgm (functionally graded material...

This work investigates transient heat conduction in a functionally graded plate (FGM plate) subjected to gradual cooling/heating at its boundaries. The thermal properties of the FGM are assumed to be continuous and piecewise differentiable functions of the coordinate in the plate thickness direction. A linear ramp function describes the cooling/heating rates at the plate boundaries. A multi-lay...

Materials that are functionally graded and have a layered structure made of nickel aluminum were fabricated by powder metallurgy procedure. Al/Ni FGM consist five layers. The material sample starts with pure ends nickel. the layers (25 Ni-75Al) %, (50 Ni-50 Al) % (75 Ni-25Al) %. Samples sintered at temperature 600° C. Apparent density, green porosity, shrinkage each layer measured.

Image processing, power engineering, robotics, industrial automation etc., have all found successful uses for artificial intelligence (AI) techniques such as neural networks (ANN) and neuro-fuzzy logic (FL). In this study, an adaptive inference system (ANFIS) modelling of machine learning (ML) has been implemented to estimate the tribological properties functionally graded materials (FGM). Thes...

FGM components are generally constructed to sustain elevated temperatures and severe temperature gradients. Low thermal conductivity, low coefficient of thermal expansion and core ductility have enabled the FGM material to withstand higher temperature gradients for a given heat flux. Examples of structures undergo extremely high temperature gradients are plasma facing materials, propulsion syst...

Recent developments in medical and dental fields have warranted biomedical objects or implants with desirable properties for biomedical applications. For example, artificial hip joints, tissue scaffolds, and bone and jaw structures are now commonly used in hospitals to assist complex surgical operations, and as specimens for experiments in pharmaceutical manufacturing enterprises. But most biom...
