Mechanics and Computational Homogenization of Effective Material Properties of Functionally Graded (Composite) Material Plate FGM
Christian Mathew, Oluomachi Ejiofor
Abstract
Functionally graded materials (FGMs) are categorized as functional composites, where the volume fractions of two or more materials change continuously based on position along specific dimensions (mainly through-the -thickness) of the structure to achieve desired functionality.
