The rapid development of composite materials and structures in recent years has attracted the increased attention of many engineers and researchers. These materials are widely used in aerospace, military, mechanical, nuclear, marine, optical, electronic, chemical, biomedical, energy sources, automotive fields, ship building and structural engineering industries. In conventional laminate composite structures, homogeneous elastic plate are bonded together to obtain improved mechanical and thermal properties. However, the abrupt change in material properties across the interface between the different materials can cause strong inter-laminar stresses leading to delamination, cracking, and other damage mechanisms at the interface between the layers. To remedy these defects, functionally graded materials (FGM) are used, in which the properties of materials vary constantly. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the thermomechanical bending behavior of functionally graded thick plates (FGM) made in ceramic/metal. This work presents a model that employed a new transverse shear function. The numerical results obtained by the present analysis are presented and compared with those available in the literature (classical, first-order, and other higher-order theories). It can be concluded that this theory is effective and simple for the static analysis of composite material plates with specific properties "Case of a typical FGM (ceramic/metal)" in thermal environments.

Aeroelastic optimization has become an indispensable component in the evaluation of divergence and flutter characteristics for plated/shell structures. The present paper intends to review the fundamental trends and dominant approaches in the optimal design of engineering constructions. A special attention is focused on the formulation of objective functions/functional and the definition of physical (material) variables, particularly in view of composite materials understood in the broader sense as not only multilayered laminates but also as sandwich structures, nanocomposites, functionally graded materials, and materials with piezoelectric actuators/sensors. Moreover, various original aspects of optimization problems of composite structures are demonstrated, discussed, and reviewed in depth.

AbstractThermo-mechanical analysis of the functionally graded orthotropic rotating hollow structures, subjected to thermo-mechanical loadings is studied in this paper. The relations were derived for both plane strain and plane stress conditions as a cylinder and disk, respectively. Non homogeneity was considered arbitrary through thickness direction for all mechanical and thermal properties. The responses of the system including temperature distribution, radial displacement and radial and circumferential stresses were derived in the general state. As case study, power law gradation was assumed for functionally graded cylinder and the mentioned results were evaluated in terms of parameters of the system such as non-homogeneous index and angular velocity.

Objectives The use of additive technologies is one of the promising areas for improving the production of products for various purposes in the transition to a digital economy. Method. Layered construction of objects of complex shape in accordance with the developed solid-state model from materials with different mechanical and thermal properties allows directionally controlling the distribution of various components in the volume of the composite material and forming topological structures that provide a rational balance between various performance characteristics and reliability of the product. Result. Based on experimental studies, it has been established that reinforcing topological reinforcement of 3D printing objects made from ABS plastic with a composite consisting of carbon fibers and ED-20 epoxy resin, along with an increase in flexural strength and tensile strength, contributes to an increase in thermal conductivity of the material by more than 18% and thermal diffusivity - by 20%. A computer simulation of elementary cells of a composite material consisting of a polymer matrix, carbon fiber and special core inclusions with high thermal conductivity was performed, which made it possible to further increase thermal conductivity depending on the relative fiber diameter and the percentage of the additional component in an amount from 46 to 75%. Conclusion It is shown that additive technologies are an effective tool for creating universal topologies that allow technologically managing a combination of both mechanical and thermophysical properties of structural materials by determining the rational relative position of their components depending on the purpose and level of achievement of the required characteristics.

It has been known for many years that the incorporation of metallic particulates into a ceramic matrix can bring about the improvement of the mechanical properties of ceramics. Alumina/copper composites are well-known for their good frictional wear resistance, high resistance to thermal fatigue, high thermal conductivity as well as high absorption and dissipation of heat. The combination of the properties offered by alumina-copper composites makes them particularly interesting for wear applications in both automobile and aerospace industries. In the present paper we report on the design and production of a new class of alumina-copper functionally graded materials (FGM) which have technological potential for application in automotive brake disks. More specifically, this work deals with the development of the interpenetrating network structure of the FGM material. The manufacturing procedure was based on the gas-pressure infiltration of graded porous alumina preforms by liquid copper. The graded porous ceramic preforms with porosity ranging between 20 and 60% were made by casting foils made from slurries, the main components of which were alumina powder and rice starch powder (a pore forming agent), laminating these foils, subsequently burning-out the starch and last but not least performing a sintering process. A fundamental part of the presented investigations was to correlate the grain size of the alumina powders (Almatis, HVA FG and CT 1200 SG) and the pore size distribution, microstructure and selected mechanical and thermal properties of the porous ceramic preforms.

New-type hypersonic vehicle will encounter significant challenges due to severe heating environments during its long-time hypersonic flying in the atmosphere. Therefore, resusable, lightweight, high thermal resistance and anti-collision are demanded for Thermal Protection System. Traditional thermal protection system(TPS) can’t survive extreme thermal environments. In this paper, lightweight and integrated graded hot structures which composed of functionally graded materials (FGM) are addressed according to new thermal environment. It has been established nonlinear fundamental equations for hot structures. It is significant that gradation in material properties of hot structures allows the designer to tailor thermal response to meet variable thermal environment.

This paper investigates the free vibration and buckling behavior of singly and doubly curved shell panels made of functionally graded materials (FGMs). A higher-order shear deformation theory is used for the analysis of five shell panels, namely, cylindrical (CYL), spherical (SPH), hyperbolic paraboloid (HPR), hypar (HYP), and conoid (CON). The shell panels are subjected to a temperature field and in the case of buckling analysis, the shell panels are also subjected to a uniaxial compressive load. The properties of FGMs are considered to be temperature dependent and graded in the thickness direction according to a simple power law distribution in terms of the volume fractions of the constituents. The accuracy of the formulation is validated by comparing the results with those available in the literature. The effects of geometric properties, material composition, and boundary conditions on the free vibration and buckling are studied.
