        Functionally graded materials (FGMs) revealed an immense growth with worldwide demand. This paper describes a brief review of the feasibility of production methods (solid, liquid, and gaseous methods) chosen for FGMs, with the aid of schematic diagrams. Advanced FGM fabrication techniques such as additive manufacturing and laser deposition, which have been gaining importance are also explored. The evolution of fabrication techniques is correlated to the industrial requirements along with their merits and limitations. This review article also highlights some advanced engineering applications observed for FGMs. Comparing various fabrication technologies employed for FGMs, centrifugal casting was the most established and economically feasible method that met vast industrial product demands like hybrid and double-graded FGMs. Powder metallurgy was preferred for bulk gradation in spite of their sharp transitions across layers. Advanced FGM fabrication techniques like additive manufacturing, electrochemical gradation, and laser deposition techniques improved critical production parameters like precision, gradation control, etc. Thermal spraying successfully improved the heat insulation performance of FGMs. تفاصيل المقالة

        FGM dental implants are a very good alternative with respect to homogenous implants. In this study by focusing on mechanical property as one of the most important factors in implant design, the static behaviour of Ti/Nanostructure HA (hydroxyapatite) FGM dental implant has been fabricated and investigated experimentally and numerically. At the first step, the nanostructure hydroxyapatite powders were synthesized by natural origin. At the second step, the initial powders were cold compacted in order to fabricate Ti/HA FGM samples for 4 different volume fraction exponents (N=1/3, 2/3, 1, 2). Then the compacted powders have been sintered using a vacuum furnace, in which compressive strength of each particular sample was finally assessed. A three-dimensional geometrical model of FGM dental implant system and surrounding bone was created by using the macro programming language in ANSYS software and then finite element analysis under static forces was performed. Finally the experimental results strength tests were compared with numerical solutions. According to the results, the FGM dental implants made of Ti/HA under static forces were sufficiently safe. As a result, FGM sample with volume fraction exponent of N=2/3 was chosen as the best sample. تفاصيل المقالة

        In this article, dynamic stability analysis of bi-directional functionally graded materials (BDFGMs) beam rested on visco-Pasternak foundation under harmonic excitation is studied. Also, BDFGMs beam is subjected to a transversely uniformly distributed temperature rising and it is assumed that the material properties to be temperature-dependent. According to the exponential and power law distributions, thermo-mechanical properties of BDFGMs beam vary continuously in both the thickness and longitudinal directions. Based on various shear deformation theories (e.g. Euler-Bernoulli, Timoshenko, third order shear deformation and sinusoidal shear deformation theories), the stability equations of BDFGMs beam is derived by applying the Hamilton's principle. The generalized differential quadrature method (GDQM) in conjunction with the Bolotin method is utilized to solve the differential stability equations under SS, SC and CC boundary conditions. To validate the present analysis, a comparison study is carried out with the results found in the literature and a good agreement is observed compared to the reported results. Finally, numerical results are presented to study the influences of the gradient index, length-to-thickness ratio, temperature rise and foundation parameters on the dynamic stability region of BDFGMs beam. The results of presented paper can be used to the optimal design and assessment of the structural failure. تفاصيل المقالة

        In this work, a new mathematical model of thermoelasticity theory has been considered in the context of a new consideration of heat conduction with fractional order theory. A functionally graded isotropic unbounded medium is considered subjected to a periodically varying heat source in the context of space-time non-local generalization of three-phase-lag thermoelastic model and Green-Naghdi models, in which the thermophysical properties are temperature dependent. The governing equations are expressed in Laplace-Fourier double transform domain and solved in that domain. Then the inversion of the Fourier transform is carried out by using residual calculus, where poles of the integrand are obtained numerically in complex domain by using Laguerre’s method and the inversion of Laplace transform is done numerically using a method based on Fourier series expansion technique. The numerical estimates of the thermal displacement, temperature and thermal stress are obtained for a hypothetical material. Finally, the obtained results are presented graphically to show the effect of non-local fractional parameter on thermal displacement, temperature and thermal stress. A comparison of the results for different theories (three-phase-lag model, GN model II, GN model III) is presented and the effect of non-homogeneity is also shown. The results, corresponding to the cases, when the material properties are temperature independent, agree with the results of the existing literature. تفاصيل المقالة

        In this paper, the new version of differential quadrature method (DQM), for calculation of the buckling coefficient of rectangular plates is considered. At first the differential equations governing plates have been calculated. Later based on the new version of differential quadrature method, the existing derivatives in equation are converted to the amounts of function in the grid points inside the region. Having done that, the equation will be converted to an eigen value problem and the buckling coefficient is obtained. Solving this problem requires two kinds of loading: (1) unaxial half-cosine distributed compressive load and (2) uni-axial linearly varied compressive load. Having considered the answering in this case and the analysis of the effect of number of grid points on the solution of the problem, the accuracy of answering is considered, and also the effect of power law index over the buckling coefficient is investigated. Finally, if the case is an isotropic type, the results will be compared with the existing literature. تفاصيل المقالة

        A simple formulation for studying the free vibration of shear-deformable functionally graded plates of different shapes with different cutouts using the finite element method is presented. The aim is to fill the void in the available literature with respect to the free vibration results of functionally graded plates of different shapes with different cutouts. The material properties of the plates are assumed to vary according to a power law distribution in terms of the volume fraction of the constituents. Validation of the formulation is done with the help of convergence studies with respect to the number of nodes and the results are compared with those from past investigations available only for simpler problems. In this paper rectangular, trapezoidal and circular plates with cutouts are studied and the effects of volume fraction index, thickness ratio and different external boundary conditions on the natural frequencies of plates are studied. تفاصيل المقالة

        An accurate solution procedure based on the three-dimensional elasticity theory for the free vibration analysis of Functionally Graded Sandwich (FGS) plates is presented. Since no assumptions on stresses and displacements have been employed, it can be applied to the free vibration analysis of plates with arbitrary thickness. The two-constituent FGS plate consists of ceramic and metal graded through the thickness, from one surface of the each sheet to the other according to a generalized power-law distribution with four parameters. The benefit of using generalized power-law distribution is to illustrate and present useful results arising from symmetric, asymmetric and classic profiles. Using the Generalized Differential Quadrature (GDQ) method through the thickness of the plate, further allows one to deal with FG plates with an arbitrary thickness distribution of material properties. The fast rate of convergence and accuracy of the method are investigated through the different solved examples. The effects of different geometrical parameters such as the thickness-to-length ratio, different profiles of materials volume fraction and four parameters of power-law distribution on the vibration characteristics of the FGS plates are investigated. Interesting result shows that by utilizing a suitable four-parameter model for materials volume fraction, frequency parameter can be obtained more than the frequency parameter of the similar FGS plate with sheets made of 100% ceramic and at the same time lighter. Also, results show that frequencies of symmetric and classic profiles are smaller and larger than that of other types of FGS plates respectively. The solution can be used as benchmark for other numerical methods and also the refined plate theories. تفاصيل المقالة

        This paper presents a numerical solution for vibration analysis of a cantilever trapezoidal thick plate. The material of the plate is considered to be graded through the thickness from a metal surface to a ceramic one according to a power law function. Kinetic and strain energies are derived based on the Reissner-Mindlin theory for thick plates and using Hamilton's principle, the governing equations and boundary conditions are derived in the Cartesian coordinates. A transformation of coordinates is used to convert the equations and boundary conditions from the original coordinate into a new computational coordinates. Generalized differential quadrature method (GDQM) is selected as a strong method and natural frequencies and corresponding modes are derived. The accuracy and convergence of the proposed solution are confirmed using results presented by other authors. Finally, the effect of the power law index, angles and thickness of the plate on the natural frequencies are investigated. تفاصيل المقالة

        In the present paper, bending and stress analyses of two-directional functionally graded (FG) circular plates resting on non-uniform two-parameter foundations (Winkler-Pasternak foundations) are investigated using a first-order shear-deformation theory. To enhance the accuracy of the results, the transverse stress components are derived based on the three dimensional theory of elasticity. The solution is obtained by employing the differential transform method (DTM). The material properties are assumed to vary in both transverse and radial directions according to power and exponential laws, respectively. Intensity of the transverse load is considered to vary according to a second-order polynomial. The performed convergence analysis and the comparative studies demonstrate the high accuracy and high convergence rate of the approach. A sensitivity analysis consisting of evaluating effects of different parameters (e.g., exponents of the material properties, thickness to radius ratio, trend of variations of the foundation stiffness, and edge conditions) is carried out. Results reveal that in contrast to the available constitutive-law-based solutions, present solution guarantees continuity of the transverse stresses at the interfaces between layers and may also be used for stress analysis of the sandwich panels. The results are reported for the first time and are discussed in detail. تفاصيل المقالة

        In this paper, Asymmetric buckling analysis of functionally graded (FG) Circular plates with temperature dependent property that subjected to the uniform radial compression and thermal loading is investigated. This plate is on an elastic medium that simulated by Winkler and Pasternak foundation. Mechanical properties of the plate are assumed to vary nonlinearly by temperature change. The equilibrium equations are obtained using the classical plate theory (CPT), Von Karman geometric nonlinearity and virtual displacement method. Existence of bifurcation buckling is examined and stability equations are obtained by means of the adjacent equilibrium criterion. The effects of elastic foundation coefficient, thickness to radius, power law index, and temperature-dependency of the material properties on critical buckling load of FG plates are presented. The results of the present work have been compared with the results of other investigator and the results of the comparison are very good. It is found that by increasing temperature, critical buckling load decreases. It is also concluded that the critical buckling load of (FG) Circular plates increases with an increase in the Winkler and Pasternak constants of elastic foundation. تفاصيل المقالة

In the non-boundary-fitted meshes, the elements are not conforming to the domain boundaries and the boundary nodes which are used in the traditional finite element method for the application of boundary conditions no longer exist. Therefore, special techniques are needed for computation of the stiffness matrix of boundary intersecting elements and application of boundary conditions.The stiffness matrix of boundary intersecting elements are calculated via integration of strain energy over the internal parts of these elements. Essential boundary conditions are applied using penalty function method. To examine the effectiveness of the proposed method, some numerical examples are solved and results are compared with those obtained using the standard finite element method. تفاصيل المقالة

Vibration analysis of these kinds of disks can help us make them more efficient. In this paper, modeling and evaluation of disk vibration of functionally graded materials with regard to thickness were carried out using Abaqus software. Since no certain element has been defined regarding functionally graded materials for the design and analysis of a particular element in Abaqus software, molding of such materials has been used in this application. In order to verify the results, the results obtained from ABAQUS analysis have been compared with those available in the literature. The obtained results show that by defining more layers with regard to changes in properties, the obtained results approach the exact solutions. تفاصيل المقالة

        In the present paper a method is proposed to investigate the free vibration of a partially liquid-filled cylindrical tank. The mechanical properties of the container are assumed to change continuously along the thickness according to volume fraction Power-law, Sigmoid or Exponential distribution. The liquid is supposed to be incompressible and in viscid and its velocity potential is formulated by using Eigen function expansions. The interaction between the liquid and the plate was considered and the dynamic characteristics of the plate are extracted by using the Rayleigh–Ritz method. The results from the proposed method are in good agreement with experimental and numerical solutions available in the literature. A finite element analysis is also applied to check the validity of the results. Furthermore, the influence of various variables such as the number of nodal circles and diameters, volume fractions of functionally graded materials and liquid level on the dynamic behavior of the coupled system is investigated. تفاصيل المقالة

        Based on the nonlocal Timoshenko beam theory, the dynamic stability of functionally gradded (FG) nanoeams under axial load is studied in thermal environment, with considering surface effect. It is used power law distribution for FGM and the surface stress effects are considered based on Gurtin-Murdoch continuum theory. Using Von Karman geometric nonlinearity, governing equations are derived based on Hamilton’s principle. The developed nonlocal models have the capability to interpret small scale effects. Winkler and Pasternak types elastic foundation are employed to represent the interaction of the nano FG beam and the surrounding elastic medium. A parametric study is conducted to investigate the influences of the static load factor, temperature change, nonlocal elastic parameter, slenderness ratio, surface effect and springs constant of the elastic medium on the dynamic stability characteristics of the FG beam, with simply-supported boundary conditions. It is found that the difference between instability regions predicted by local and nonlocal beam theories is significant for nanobeams with lower aspect ratios. Moreover, it is observed that in contrast to high temperature environments, at low temperatures, increasing the temperature change moves the origins of the instability regions to higher excitation frequencies and leads to further stability of the system at lower excitation frequencies, considering surface stress effect shifts the FG beam to higher frequency zone تفاصيل المقالة
