Abstract Laser cladding is an additive manufacturing technology that can be utilized in surface strengthening, modification, and repair of components that are subjected to adverse working conditions. This can be accomplished by the addition of functionally graded material with a remarkable limit to enhancing an engaged credited property of monolithic material that is superior and better than its monolithic counterparts. Chromium addition to the microstructure of components has been found to increase the electrochemical stability, high-temperature strength and corrosion resistance of laser additive manufactured components. The current study investigates the effect of the extra addition of chromium on the hardness and microstructure of laser coated high carbon ferrochrome FeCrV15 on steel baseplate.

As a hollow cylindrical structure, a nanotube has potential to convey nanoflow, which has opened up a field of research. Functionally graded nanotube as a designable structure with continuous variation of material properties can perform better than uniform nanotube, especially in physical field without introducing large stress concentration. In this article, we take the thermal effect into account and investigated the wave propagation characteristics of functionally graded material nanotube conveying nanoflow. In particular, we compared the effects of different kinds of volume fraction function and also the cases of uniform and nonuniform temperature variation. According to the numerical results, we can conclude that as we decrease the exponent n of the volume fraction function, the system is enhanced and larger enhancement can be observed in the case of the power volume fraction function. In addition, there is a positive correlation between the stability and both the temperature variation and the nonuniformity of temperature variation.

AbstractThis paper deals with the static response of simply supported functionally graded material (FGM) viscoelastic sandwich plates subjected to transverse uniform loads. The FG sandwich plates are considered to be resting on Pasternak's elastic foundations. The sandwich plate is assumed to consist of a fully elastic core sandwiched by elastic-viscoelastic FGM layers. Material properties are graded according to a power-law variation from the interfaces to the faces of the plate. The equilibrium equations of the FG sandwich plate are given based on a trigonometric shear deformation plate theory. Using Illyushin's method, the governing equations of the viscoelastic sandwich plate can be solved. Parametric study on the bending analysis of FG sandwich plates is being investigated. These parameters include (i) power-law index, (ii) plate aspect ratio, (iii) side-to-thickness ratio, (iv) loading type, (v) foundation stiffnesses, and (vi) time parameter.

This paper presents the formulation of dynamic stiffness matrix for the natural vibration analysis of porous power-law functionally graded Levy-type plate. In the process of formulating the dynamic stiffness matrix, Kirchhoff-Love plate theory in tandem with the notion of neutral surface has been taken on board. The developed dynamic stiffness matrix, a transcendental function of frequency, has been solved through the Wittrick–Williams algorithm. Hamilton’s principle is used to obtain the equation of motion and associated natural boundary conditions of porous power-law functionally graded plate. The variation across the thickness of the functionally graded plate’s material properties follows the power-law function. During the fabrication process, the microvoids and pores develop in functionally graded material plates. Three types of porosity distributions are considered in this article: even, uneven, and logarithmic. The eigenvalues computed by the dynamic stiffness matrix using Wittrick–Williams algorithm for isotropic, power-law functionally graded, and porous power-law functionally graded plate are juxtaposed with previously referred results, and good agreement is found. The significance of various parameters of plate vis-à-vis aspect ratio ( L/b), boundary conditions, volume fraction index ( p), porosity parameter ( e), and porosity distribution on the eigenvalues of the porous power-law functionally graded plate is examined. The effect of material density ratio and Young’s modulus ratio on the natural vibration of porous power-law functionally graded plate is also explained in this article. The results also prove that the method provided in the present work is highly accurate and computationally efficient and could be confidently used as a reference for further study of porous functionally graded material plate.
