Effect of Particle Gradient on Stress Analysis of a FG Disc

Abstract

In the present study, we have investigated stress analysis of a Functionally Graded (FG) Rotating Disc. The disc under observation is made of Al-SiCp composite. The effect of increasing particle gradient (PG) on strain in the disc has been investigated. It is concluded that the strains in the FGM disc reduces significantly with increasing SiCp particle gradient in Al matrix.
