Functionally graded composite materials (FGCMs) are inhomogeneous materials, consisting
of two (or more) different materials, engineered to have a continuously varying spatial …

This paper presents a review of the principal developments in functionally graded materials
(FGMs) with an emphasis on the recent work published since 2000. Diverse areas relevant …

We present a phase field formulation for fracture in functionally graded materials (FGMs).
The model builds upon homogenization theory and accounts for the spatial variation of …

The book is divided into two parts dealing with the fundamental issues of processing
(Chapter 2) and the thermomechanical response (Chapter 3) of a FGM. Chapter 1 provides …

The purpose of this study is to provide an exhaustive review of the literature on the vibration
and buckling of functionally graded materials (FGMs), functionally graded conical shells …

Following a review of the processing of functionally graded metals and metal-ceramic
composites in Part 1; this Part 2 of the two part series focuses on the thermomechanical …

This paper presents the full generalization of the Cartesian coordinate-based higher-order
theory for functionally graded materials developed by the authors during the past several …

The purpose of this research is to investigate the effects of material inhomogeneity on the
response of linearly elastic isotropic hollow circular cylinders or disks under uniform internal …

Elastic bifurcational buckling of functionally graded plates under in-plane compressive
loading is studied. It is supposed that the gradients of material properties throughout the …

Many thin structural components such as beams, plates, and shells experience a through-
thickness temperature variation. This temperature variation can produce thermal …
