Static analyses of FGM beams by various theories and finite elements

Higher-order theories for the free vibrations of doubly-curved laminated panels with curvilinear reinforcing fibers by means of a local version of the GDQ method

“…For this reason, a new class of composites termed functionally graded materials (FGMs) has spread broadly in order to reduce the stress concentrations and the mechanical discontinuities. The interest of many researchers about this topic is demonstrated by the large amount of papers available in the literature [81][82][83][84][85][86][87][88][89][90][91][92]. These contributions report the effects of the continuous gradual variation of the mechanical properties of the FGMs on the static and dynamic behaviors of many structural components.…”

Electro-magneto-thermo-elastic response of infinite functionally graded cylinders without energy dissipation

“…The material properties of the FG cylinder are assumed to be function of the volume fraction of the constituent materials. The functionally graded between the physical properties and the radial direction r for ceramic and metal FG cylinder is given by [20][21][22] …”

Temperature distribution effects on buckling behavior of smart heterogeneous nanosize plates based on nonlocal four-variable refined plate theory

“…Ansari et al [33] examined three-dimensional bending and vibration behavior of FG nanoplates employing differential quadrature method. Recently, analysis of structures based on unified formulations has been presented by various researchers [12][13][14][15][16][17][18]. In this context, the classical plate theory model (CPL) or Kirchhoff theory, which ignores the shear deformation effect, only give acceptable results for thin plates.…”
