Functionally gradedmaterials (FGMs) are not homogeneous materials. It consists of different(two or more) materials, engineered to have a continuously varying spatial composition profile. FGM is the one that can solve practical problems arising from the production and application of a new type of composite material. This paper describes the overview of FGM basic concepts, classification, properties, and its modeling which may focus on the static and dynamic analysis of functionally graded panels. The effective material properties of functionally graded materials for the panel are graded in the thickness direction from the bottom surface to the top surface according to the power-law distribution of volume fractions of the constituents. The use of structures like beams, plates, and shells, which are made from functionally graded (FG) materials, is increasing because of the smooth variation of material properties along with preferred directions. This variation gives continuous stress distribution in the FG structures. Therefore, an FGM can be effectively used in avoiding corrosion, fatigue, fracture, and stress corrosion cracking. The paper covers the literature study on static, buckling and free vibration, thermo-mechanical analysis of FGM panel. From this literature study it is found that, analysis of these problems is made using the constitutive relations and governing equations associated with the classical laminated theory structural model, the FSDT model, the HSDT model,Reissner and Sander theory,differential quadrature, finite element method and closed form solutions. Results are availableon different geometrical dimensional ratios variations, power-law index value n variationsand simply supported,clamped, free edges boundary conditionswith its combinations for FG panels. Lesser literatures are available for different edge boundary conditions such as SCSC, CSCS,SSSC, SFSF, SSSF, SCSF on curved panelfor free vibration, buckling and thermo-structural analysis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
