An experimental investigation is presented for the stress distributions in functionally graded plates containing a circular hole. On the basis of the authors’ previously constructed theoretical model, two kinds of graded plates made of discrete rings with increasing or decreasing Young’s modulus were designed and fabricated in virtue of multi-material 3D printing. The printed graded plates had accurate size, smooth surface, and good interface. The strains of two graded plates under uniaxial tension were measured experimentally using strain gages. The stresses were calculated within the range of linear elastic from the measured strains and compared with analytical theory. It is found that the experimental results are consistent with the theoretical results, and both of them indicate that the stress concentration around the hole reduces obviously in graded plates with radially increasing Young’s modulus, in comparison with that of perforated homogenous plates. The successful experiment in the paper provides a good basis and support for the establishment of theoretical models and promotes the in-depth development of the research field of stress concentration in functionally graded plates.

This paper presents an analytical method to reduce the stress concentration in a functionally graded material (FGM) plate, having a circular cutout, under axial loading. An exponential radial variation and the variation by the power law, of the Young’s modulus is assumed here. This is achieved by decomposing the plate into a number of rings. Muskhelishivili’s method of the complex variable function is used for this piece of work study of stress distribution in the plate. It is observed that the stress concentration decreases as the Young’s modulus increases radially away from the hole.

In this study, glass-filled epoxy functionally graded material (FGM) was prepared by adopting the hand lay-up method. The vertical gravity casting was used to produce a continuous variation in elastic properties. A 30 % volume fraction of glass ingredients that have mean diameter 90 μm was spread in epoxy resin (ρ = 1050 kg/m3). The mechanical properties of FGM were evaluated according to ASTM D638. Experimental results showed that a gradually relationship between Young’s modulus and volume fraction of glass particles, where the value of Young’s modulus at high concentration of glass particles was greater than that at low concentration, while the value of Poisson’s ratio at high concentration of glass particles was lower than that at low concentration. The manufacture of this FG beam is particularly important and useful in order to benefit from it in the field of various fracture tests under dynamic or cyclic loads.

In the present research electro-mechanical bending behavior of sandwich nanoplate with functionally graded porous core and piezoelectric face sheets is carried out. Vlasov’s model foundation is utilized to model the silica Aerogel foundation. Two functions are considered for nonuniform variation of material properties of the core layer along the thickness direction such as Young’s modulus, shear modulus, and density. The governing equations are deduced from Hamilton’s principle based on sinusoidal shear and normal deformation theory. In order to solve seven governing equations, an iterative technique is accomplished. After all, deflection and stresses are verified with corresponding literatures. Eventually, the numerical results reveal that applied voltage, plate aspect ratio, thickness ratio, nonlocal parameter, porosity index, Young’s modulus, and height of silica Aerogel foundation have substantial effects on the electro-mechanical bending response of functionally graded porous sandwich nanoplate.

Analytical solutions of stress fields in functionally graded circular hollow cylinder with finite length subjected to axisymmetric pressure loadings on inner and outer surfaces are presented in this paper. The cylinder is simply supported at its two ends. Young's modulus of the material is assumed to vary continuously in radial direction of the cylinder. Moreover, numerical results of stresses in functionally graded circular hollow cylinder are appeared.

This study focused on the in-plane free vibration of uniform circular arches made of axially functionally graded (AFG) materials. Based on the dynamic equilibrium of an arch element, the governing equations for the free vibration of an AFG arch are derived in this study, where arbitrary functions for the Young’s modulus and mass density are acceptable. For the purpose of numerical analysis, quadratic polynomials for the Young’s modulus and mass density are considered. To calculate the natural frequencies and corresponding mode shapes, the governing equations are solved using the direct integral method enhanced by the trial eigenvalue method. For verification purposes, the predicted frequencies are compared to those obtained by the general purpose software ADINA. A parametric study of the end constraint, rotatory inertia, modular ratio, radius parameter, and subtended angle for the natural frequencies is conducted and the corresponding mode shapes are reported.

The elastic stress concentrations developed from the keyless, frictionless, static press-fit of a solid shaft into a hub with bore rounded edges are addressed. Derived from an analytical approach, a normalising parameter Φ is employed that accounts for the combined effects on the hub stress concentration of the fillet radius of the hub bore, the shaft radius, the interference, and the Young’s modulus. Compiled with the aid of Finite Elements, several design charts are presented that report the elastic stress concentrations within the hub versus the normalising parameter Φ. Each curve is valid for prescribed ratios of a) the hub inner radius to the outer radius, and b) the fillet radius to the shaft radius. An approximating expression of ample validity is also presented for a prompt evaluation of the hub stress concentration factor.

This paper deals with stress analysis of a single lap-jointed cantilevered beam using the three dimensional linear elastic finite element analysis (FEA) technique. Numerical examples are provided to show the influence on the stresses of the single lap-jointed cantilevered beams using adhesives of different characteristics which encompass the entire spectrum of viscoelastic behaviour. The results indicate that the stress distributions of a single-lap jointed cantilevered beam are strongly affected by both Young’s modulus and Poisson’s ratios. The maximum stress ratio was used to determine maximum values of Young’s Modulus required in order that the static stresses of an adhesively bonded cantilevered beam will not be more than given value of that of the equivalent homogeneous structure, that is a geometrically similar beam but without a joint. The analysis results also show that by choosing suitable adhesives, the maximum stresses can be reduced and the strength can be improved.

This study investigates the thermal stress and deformation states of bi-directional functionally graded clamped plates subjected to constant in-plane heat fluxes along two ceramic edges. The material properties of the functionally graded plates were assumed to vary with a power law along two in-plane directions not through the plate thickness direction. The spatial derivatives of thermal and mechanical properties of the material composition were considered, and the effects of the bi-directional composition variations and spatial derivative terms on the displacement, strain and stress distributions were also investigated. The heat conduction and Navier equations describing the two-dimensional thermo-elastic problem were discretized using finite-difference method, and the set of linear equations were solved using the pseudo singular value method. The compositional gradient exponents and the spatial derivatives of thermal and mechanical properties of the material composition were observed to play an important role especially on the heat transfer durations, the displacement and strain distributions, but had a minor effect on the temperature and stress distributions.
