Thick shells have attracted much attention in recent years as intelligent and functional
graded materials because of their unique properties. In this review paper, some critical …

Purpose Functionally graded materials are a special class of composites in which material
are graded either continuously or layered wise depending upon its applications. With such …

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 …

With the development of functionally graded (FG) composite material technology,
mechanical analyses of FG pressure vessels have attracted attention. Due to the non …

With the development of composite material technology, the multi-field coupling analysis of
functionally graded (FG) structures has attracted extensive attention. For FG cylindrical …

This paper presents a novel method for analyzing steady thermal stresses in a functionally
graded hollow cylinder. The thermal and thermoelastic parameters are assumed to …

Based on the Frobenius series method, stresses analysis of the functionally graded rotating
thick cylindrical pressure vessels (FGRTCPV) are examined. The vessel is considered in …

Limited work has been reported on determining the thermo-mechanical stresses in a
multilayered composite pressure vessel when the influence of its closed ends is considered …

The elastic analysis of a pressurized functionally graded material (FGM) annulus or tube is
made in this paper. Different from existing studies, this study deals with an axisymmetrical …

The nonlinear dynamic response and active vibration control of the piezoelectric functionally
graded plate are analyzed in this paper. Based on higher-order shear plate theory and …
