The buckling and post-buckling behaviors are analyzed for the multilayer functionally
graded graphene platelets reinforced piezoelectric (FG-GRP) plates. The FG-GRP plates are …

Graphene reinforcements can obviously enhance the piezoelectric properties as well as the
mechanical properties of the polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF). This paper investigates the …

Bone density reduction occurs when implants are used to arrest fracture propagation. Bones
are stress shielded by the implants when enough loads are not placed on the bones. Stress …

This paper proposes an FEA method to study the vibration and wave propagation in
functionally graded material (FGM) beams with multiple inclined cracks by introducing the …

Mechanical analysis is the key basis for the structural safety of functionally graded materials
(FGMs). Herein, a very natural and highly accurate model is proposed to solve the statics …

In this study, the continuous and discontinuous contact problems of functionally graded (FG)
layer resting on a rigid foundation were considered. The top of the FG layer was loaded by a …

The problem of thermoelastic contact mechanics for the coating/substrate system with
functionally graded properties is investigated, where the rigid flat punch is assumed to slide …

This study investigates the plane frictional contact problem of a cylindrical punch on a
functionally graded orthotropic medium (FGOM). Both analytical and computational methods …

The problem of a rigid punch contacting with a finite graded layer on a rigid substrate is
investigated within the framework of steady-state plane strain thermoelasticity, in which heat …

This paper investigates the frictionless contact problem of a functionally graded
thermoelectric (FGTE) layered half-plane under the action of a rigid flat punch. The punch is …
