The main objective of this study is to evaluate mixed mode stress intensity factors for inclined embedded cracks in functionally graded materials. Fracture analysis of inclined cracks requires the calculation of both Mode I and Mode II stress intensity factors ( I K , II K ). In this study, k J -integral is used to calculate I K and II K . Equivalent domain integral approach is utilized to evaluate the k J - integral around the crack tip. The present study aims at developing a finite element model to study inclined crack problems in graded media under thermomechanical loading. A two dimensional finite element model is developed for inclined cracks located in a functionally graded medium. Structural and thermal problems are solved using two dimensional finite elements namely 8- noded triangles. Material properties are sampled directly at the integration points of the elements, as required by the numerical integral evaluation. The main results of the study are the stress intensity factors at the crack tip for functionally graded materials subjected to thermomechanical loading.

Analytical and numerical models are developed to investigate the effect of orthotropy on the stress distribution in variable thickness solid and annular rotating disks. The plastic treatment is based on Hill’s quadratic yield criterion, total deformation theory, and Swift’s hardening law. The elastic-plastic stress distributions, residual stresses and radial displacement distributions are obtained after having analysed the cases of rotating solid disk, annular disk with rigid inclusion, annular disk subject...
Dynamic frictional contact problems involving functionally graded materials
Balcı, Mehmet Nurullah; Dağ, Serkan; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2018)
The main aim of this study is to analyze the dynamic frictional contact problem of layered and functionally graded materials. Investigating contact problems including dynamic effects has a significant importance in mechanical engineering applications since many contact problems arise between moving structures. In moving contact problems, speed of the punch may not be so small to ignore dynamic effects. Hence, contact problem should be examined using elastodynamics theory. In this study, both frictional movi...

The objective of this study is to develop crack growth analysis methods for functionally graded materials under mode I cyclic loading by using finite element technique. The study starts with the analysis of test specimens which are given in ASTM standard E399. The material properties of specimens are assumed to be changing along the thickness direction according to a presumed variation function used for the modeling of functionally graded materials.

Analytical solution of a crack problem in a radially graded FGM
Çetin, Suat; Kadıoğlu, Fevzi Suat; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2007)
The objective of this study is to determine stress intensity factors (SIFs) for a crack in a radially graded FGM layer on a substrate. Functionally graded coating with an edge crack perpendicular to the interface and a homogeneous substrate are bonded together. In order to make the problem analytically tractable, geometry is modeled as an FGM strip attached to a homogeneous layer. Introducing the elastic foundation underneath the homogeneous layer, an FGM coating on a thin walled cylinder can be modeled. At...
