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

This work applies a two-state interaction integral to obtain stress intensity factors along
cracks in three-dimensional functionally graded materials. The procedures are applicable to …

In this work, the thermal contact problem of a rigid flat punch sliding over functionally graded
