Abstract:The main objective of this work is the numerical prediction of the mechanical behaviour up to the damage of the bends of the functionally graded material (FGM) type ceramic/metal pipes. Firstly, the effective elastoplastic proper-ties of bent FGM pipes were determined using the homogenisation law by the Mori–Tanaka models for the elastic part and TTO (Tamura-Tomota-Ozawa) for the plastic part based on a rule of mixtures per function in the form of a power law. Our work also aims at the use of a meshing method … Show more
