One of the fundamental aspects in cohesive zone modeling is the definition of the traction-
separation relationship across fracture surfaces, which approximates the nonlinear fracture …

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 frictional receding contact problem for two graded layers pressed by a rigid punch is
considered in this paper. The punch is subjected to both normal and tangential loads …

Analytical and computational methods are developed for contact mechanics analysis of
functionally graded materials (FGMs) that possess elastic gradation in the lateral direction. In …

Singular integral equation (SIE) and finite element methods are developed for sliding
contact analysis of a finite thickness orthotropic graded coating, which is perfectly bonded to …

We develop a dual-purpose damage model (DPDM) that can simultaneously model
intralayer damage (ply failure) and interlayer damage (delamination) as an alternative to …

In this article, the strain gradient elasticity (SGE) theory is used to investigate the mechanical
behaviour of a functionally graded material (FGM) weakened by two unequal collinear mode …

In this work, the thermal contact problem of a rigid flat punch sliding over functionally graded
material (FGM) coating with a surface crack is investigated. The surface of a homogeneous …

This article introduces a computational method based on the Jk-integral for mixed-mode
fracture analysis of orthotropic functionally graded materials (FGMs) that are subjected to …

Pressure vessels covered with overlaying layer or coating are widely applied due to its
strong heat resistance, corrosion resistance, and load-carrying capacity. However, limited …
