Reliability of stress field in Al–Al2O3 functionally graded thick hollow cylinder subjected to sudden unloading, considering uncertain mechanical properties

Non-linear analysis of FGM composites by finite block method in cylindrical coordinates

“…the high temperature and the corrosion resistance of the ceramics on one side and the large mechanical strength and toughness of the metals on the other side [1,2]. Direct problems of obtaining temperature, stresses and displacements in a structure in inhomogeneous materials, such as fibre-reinforced composites and the FGMs have been studied extensively [3][4][5][6][7][8][9]. Owing to the composite structure, the physical properties are varying with the Cartesian coordinates.…”

Wear behaviour of Al/(Al2O3 + ZrB2 + TiB2) hybrid composites fabricated by hot pressing

“…Metal matrix composites (MMCs) containing hard particulates offer superioro perating performance and resistance to wear [1,2]. Aluminium's wear resistance is poor, but if aluminium is reinforced with special hardceramicreinforcements it exhibits excellent wear resistance as well as high strength and stiffness [3].…”

Determining the mixed mode stress intensity factors of surface cracks in functionally graded hollow cylinders

“…[1]). At present time several research efforts have been made to assist the design of mechanical components made-up of FGM, such as beams [2], plates [4,3], curved panels [5,6], penetration barriers [7], rotating disks [8], coatings [9,10], thick cylinders [11,12], hollow cylinders [13][14][15] and spheres [16].…”
