Deformation and Failure in Functionally Gradient Materials
Abstract
Several aspects regarding the mechanical behavior of functionally graded materials have been investigated. In particular. the microstructure's effect of the failure initiation under thermal loading has been modeled by a computational micro-mechanics model. cracks in various geometries and gradient variation forms have been studied and calibrated for testing these materials.
