...Moustafa Taima; Tamer El-Sayed; Moutaz Ramadan; M. Friswell Purpose This study presents an innovative and resource efficient approach for the stability analysis of resilient rotating tapered beams constructed from 2D functionally graded materials (FGMs). The work aims to introduce a reliable...

...Supen Kumar Sah; Anup Ghosh Purpose The purpose of this article is to carry out the thermal buckling analysis of power and sigmoid functionally graded material Sandwich plate (P-FGM and S-FGM) under uniform, linear, nonlinear and sinusoidal temperature rise. Design/methodology/approach Thermal...

...Igor V. Andrianov; Jan Awrejcewicz; Alexander A. Diskovsky Purpose The purpose of this paper is to define and solve the problem of an optimized structural topology of the simply supported beam made from functionally graded material (FGM) enabling achievement of a maximum buckling load. Design...

... by the boundary element method (BEM). However, the material has to be divided into many subdomains when the traditional BEM is applied to analyze the functionally graded material (FGM), so that the computational amount will be increased enormously. This study aims to couple these two methods to strengthen...

...W.X. Zhang; R.G. Liu; Y. Bai Purpose For general quasi-static problems of viscoelastic functionally graded materials (VFGMs), the correspondence principle can be applied only for simple structures with a closed form solution of the corresponding elastic problem exists. In this paper, a new...

... strain or stress distribution. Originality/value In the scientific literature, there are several studies regarding nonlinear analysis of functionally graded materials (FGMs) via finite elements, analysis of FGMs with constant Poisson’s ratio, and geometrically linear problems with gradually variable...
