TL;DR: In this paper, an analysis of the thermomechanical behavior of hollow circular cylinders of functionally graded material (FGM) cylinders is presented, and the authors conclude that thermal stresses necessarily occur in the FGM cylinder, except in the trivial case of zero temperature.

TL;DR: Diverse areas relevant to various aspects of theory and applications of FGM include homogenization of particulate FGM, heat transfer issues, stress, stability and dynamic analyses, testing, manufacturing and design, applications, and fracture.
Abstract: This paper presents a review of the principal developments in functionally graded materials (FGMs) with an emphasis on the recent work published since 2000. Diverse areas relevant to various aspects of theory and applications of FGM are reflected in this paper. They include homogenization of particulate FGM, heat transfer issues, stress, stability and dynamic analyses, testing, manufacturing and design, applications, and fracture. The critical areas where further research is needed for a successful implementation of FGM in design are outlined in the conclusions. DOI: 10.1115/1.2777164

TL;DR: A free vibration analysis of metal and ceramic functionally graded plates that uses the element-free kp-Ritz method is presented in this paper, where the material properties of the plates are assumed to vary continuously through their thickness according to a power-law distribution of the volume fractions of the plate constituents.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented a theoretical investigation in free vibration and elastic buckling of beams made of functionally graded materials (FGMs) containing open edge cracks by using Bernoulli-Euler beam theory and the rotational spring model.
237 citations
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented linear thermal buckling and free vibration analysis for functionally graded cylindrical shells with clamped-clamped boundary condition based on temperature-dependent material properties.

TL;DR: In this article, a semi-analytical solution for hollow and solid rotating axisymmetric disks made of functionally graded materials is presented, where the radial domain is divided into some virtual sub-domains in which the power-law distribution is used for the thermomechanical properties of the constituent components.
