In the recent years, functionally gradient materials (FGMs) have gained considerable attention in the high temperature environment applications. In this paper, free vibration of thin functionally graded cylindrical shell with hole composed of stainless steel and zirconia is studied. The mechanical properties vary smoothly and continuously from one surface to the other according to a volume frac...

The additively fabricated functionally gradient structures can be a potential replacement for conventionally manufactured via fusion welding techniques. A SS321/Inconel 625 material was processed by wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) process. WAAM-formed SS321 comprises of equiaxed and columnar structures, while the Inconel consists dendritic structures. It concluded that very narrow interf...

Bone fragility depends not only on bone mass but also on bone quality (structure and material). To accurately evaluate fracture risk or propose therapeutic treatment, clinicians need a criterion, which reflects the determinants of bone strength: geometry, structure and material. In human long bone, the changes due to aging, accentuated by osteoporosis are often revealed through the trabeculariz...

in this paper, a general solution for torsion of hollow cylinders made of functionally graded materials (fgm) was investigated. the problem was formulated in terms of prandtl’s stress and, in general, the shear stress and angle of twist were derived. variations in the material properties such as young’s modulus and poisson’s ratio might be arbitrary functions of the radial coordinate. various m...
