In the present study, we consider a thermoelastic half-space made of a functionally gradient
material with an insulated crack, which is subjected to a thermal impact. The memory …

In this work, a coupled 3D thermo-elastic shell model is presented. The primary variables
are the scalar sovra-temperature and the displacement vector. This model allows for the …

Stress intensity factors for internal surface cracks in autofrettaged functionally graded
cylinders have been studied. It is assumed that the mechanical properties change with a …

External circumferential surface crack is one of the most common defects in offshore pipes
and risers. The stress intensity factors (SIFs) for specific crack shapes are essential …

The objective of this study is to present a numerical modeling of mixed-mode fracture in
isotropic functionally graded materials (FGMs), under mechanical and thermal loading …

In this paper, an edge-based smoothed finite element method (ES-FEM) is further formulated
to deal with the thermo-mechanical analyses of functionally graded cylindrical vessels. In the …

This work reports about an investigation on mixed mode stress intensity factors (SIFs) of
three-dimensional (3D) surface cracks in hollow cylinders made-up of functionally graded …

In order to mitigate the thermal shock impact, many ceramics, refractories or heat protecting
layers are made of functionally graded (FGM) or layered structures. Fracture mechanical …

The present work is focused on the analysis of surface cracks in functionally graded hollow
cylinders subjected to thermal loading. The interaction energy integral is deployed in the …

This paper estimates stress intensity factors of rotating solid disks or cylinders with a radial
crack subjected to a uniform tension at their outer surface and a uniform temperature change …
