    Deformation modeling of an FGM plate under external force

    , Article Advanced Materials Research ; Sharif University of Technology , Volume 622 , 2013 , Pages 246-253 ; 10226680 (ISSN) ; 9783037855638 (ISBN) Mortazavi Moghaddam, A. R ; Ahmadian, M. T ; Sarkeshi, M ; Kheradpisheh, A ; Sharif University of Technology

    Abstract
    Deformation modeling of an infinite plate of functionally graded materials (FGMs) loaded by normal force to the plate surface is studied. The material properties of FGM plate are assumed to be graded in the thickness direction according to a simple power-law distribution in terms of the volume fractions of the constituents. The governing equations are based on stress-strain relation and the equilibrium force equation. Keeping generality, FGM plate has been assumed as a multilayer with linear material property in each layer while arbitrary exponential material property through the thickness. A plate made of Aluminum and Alumina is considered as an example to illustrate the effects of the... 

    Structural analysis of stiffened FGM thick walled cylinders by application of a new cylindrical super element

    , Article World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology ; Volume 58 , 2009 , Pages 116-121 ; 2010376X (ISSN) Moeini, A ; Ahmadian, M. T ; Sharif University of Technology

    Abstract
    Structural behavior of ring stiffened thick walled cylinders made of functionally graded materials (FGMs) is investigated in this paper. Functionally graded materials are inhomogeneous composites which are usually made from a mixture of metal and ceramic. The gradient compositional variation of the constituents from one surface to the other provides an elegant solution to the problem of high transverse shear stresses that are induced when two dissimilar materials with large differences in material properties are bonded. FGM formation of the cylinder is modeled by power-law exponent and the variation of characteristics is supposed to be in radial direction. A finite element formulation is... 

    Dynamic analysis of a functionally graded simply supported Euler-Bernoulli beam subjected to a moving oscillator

    , Article Acta Mechanica ; Volume 224, Issue 2 , 2013 , Pages 425-446 ; 00015970 (ISSN) Rajabi, K ; Kargarnovin, M. H ; Gharini, M ; Sharif University of Technology

    Abstract
    The dynamic behavior of a functionally graded (FG) simply supported Euler-Bernoulli beam subjected to a moving oscillator has been investigated in this paper. The Young's modulus and the mass density of the FG beam vary continuously in the thickness direction according to the power-law model. The system of equations of motion is derived by using Hamilton's principle. By employing Petrov-Galerkin method, the system of fourth-order partial differential equations of motion has been reduced to a system of second-order ordinary differential equations. The resulting equations are solved using Runge-Kutta numerical scheme. In this study, the effect of the various parameters such as power-law... 

    Vibration analysis of a rotating FGM cantilever ARM

    , Article ASME International Mechanical Engineering Congress and Exposition, Proceedings, 13 November 2009 through 19 November 2009 ; Volume 15 , 2010 , Pages 359-365 ; 9780791843888 (ISBN) Rahaeifard, M ; Moeini, S. A ; Kahrobaiyan, M. H ; Ahmadian, M. T ; Sharif University of Technology
    Abstract
    Functionally graded materials (FGMs) are inhomogeneous composites which are usually made of a mixture of metals and ceramics. Properties of these kinds of materials vary continuously and smoothly from a ceramic surface to a metallic surface in a specified direction of the structure. The gradient compositional variation of the constituents from one surface to the other provides an elegant solution to the problem of high transverse shear stresses that are induced when two dissimilar materials with large differences in material properties are bonded. FGMs have extracted much attention as advanced structural materials in recent years. In this paper, free vibration of a rotating FGM cantilever...
