Performances of conventional fiber reinforced composites are challenged in
thermomechanical loading, when development of interlaminar stresses at the interface …

Recently, advanced materials whose properties vary within a continuous pattern have been
put to use to design and manufacture modern structures. In the current investigation, size …

Background A Evolution of material taken place for ages and in today's world even faster.
The new concept faces a new set of challenges and is to execute in the real-world …

The nonlinear hygro-thermal dynamics of a bi-directionally functionally graded beam with
coupled transverse and longitudinal displacements are studied. The material properties and …

In this paper, a new theoretical approach is presented for modelling the free vibrations of
functionally graded (FG) graphene platelets (GPL) reinforced thick beams with a single-edge …

In this paper, the static and dynamic responses of bi-directional functionally graded (BDFG)
microbeams are investigated. The material properties vary along both thickness and axial …

An efficient approach to obtain accurate solutions for free vibration of functionally graded
beams (FGB) with variable cross-sections and resting on Pasternak elastic foundations is …

This paper presents for the first time a closed-form solution of the dynamic response of
sigmoid bidirectional functionally graded (SBDFG) microbeams under moving harmonic …

This paper proposes a new damage index for the crack identification of beams made of
functionally graded materials (FGMs) by using the wavelet analysis. The damage index is …

Nonuniform microbeams made of functionally graded materials (FGMs) have been studied
extensively in literature to predict their mechanical and thermal behavior, those …
