Nature offers interesting examples of structures with a gradually changing composition that
provides unique mechanical properties. Today, the transfer of biological principles to …

The crack growth resistance behavior of functionally graded materials (FGMs) was
investigated using the full-field measurement technique of digital image correlation (DIC) …

The problem of low-speed impact of a one-dimensional sandwich panel by a rigid cylindrical
projectile is considered. The core of the sandwich panel is functionally graded such that the …

This paper formulates an efficient third-order shear deformation beam element for free
vibration and buckling analysis of bidirectional functionally graded sandwich (BFGSW) …

As engineering materials, the gradient polymer with high modulus as well as excellent
damping properties are of great interest in aerospace and automotive industries for severe …

This work investigates the existing capabilities and limitations in numerical modeling of
fracture problems in functionally graded materials (FGMs) by means of the well-known finite …

In this paper, a new displacement based high-order shear deformation theory is introduced
for the static response of functionally graded sandwich plate. Unlike any other theory, the …

Dynamic analysis of an inclined sandwich beam under a moving mass is presented on the
basis of a third-order shear deformation theory. The core of the sandwich beam is …

A solid composite of desirable microstructure can be produced by curing a liquid polymeric
suspension in an electric field. Redistribution effect of the field-induced forces exceeds that …

This study introduces a new idea that combining graded material and lattice core for forming
the graded lattice core sandwich structures, which is based on the stitching and hot-press …
