Functionally graded materials (FGMs) are multi-phase inhomogeneous composites, possessing smooth spatial variations in certain physical properties of the constituents. Depending on the types of the constituent materials used in the processing of orthotropic FGMs, the influences of thermal and hygroscopic loadings could be rather significant. This study is directed towards developing a new computational fracture analysis technique for orthotropic FGMs that are under mixed-mode hygrothermal loading. The method is based on the use of the J-integral in conjunction with the asymptotic crack tip displacement fields. Developed computational technique is integrated into a finite element analysis software. Parametric analyses are carried out by considering an inclined edge crack in an orthotropic FGM layer that is subjected to the influence of hygrothermal loading. In order to be able to verify the proposed method, obtained results are compared to those computed via displacement correlation technique (DCT). Comparisons demonstrate that proposed technique leads to numerical results of high accuracy. Further results are provided to illustrate the influences of crack inclination angle and geometry on the temperature and the specific moisture concentration fields; and the modes I and II stress intensity factors.

Computational Methods for Inclined Cracks in Orthotropic Functionally Graded Materials Under Thermal Stresses Dağ, Serkan; TOPAL, SERRA (2013-10-03) This article sets forth two different computational methods developed to evaluate fracture parameters for inclined cracks lying in orthotropic functionally graded materials, that are under the effect of thermal stresses. The first method is based on the J(k)-integral, whereas the second entails the use of the J(1)-integral and the asymptotic displacement fields. The procedures introduced are implemented by means of the finite element method and integrated into a general purpose finite element analysis softw...
Three dimensional fracture analysis of FGM coatings Inan, O; Dağ, Serkan; Erdogan, F (2005-01-01) In this study the three - dimensional surface cracking of a graded coating bonded to a homogeneous substrate is considered. The main objective is to model the subcritical crack growth process in the coated medium under a cyclic mechanical or thermal loading. Because of symmetry, along the crack front conditions of mode I fracture and plane strain deformations are assumed to be satisfied. Thus, at a given location on the crack front the crack propagation rate would be a function of the mode I stress intensit...
Sliding frictional contact between a rigid punch and a laterally graded elastic medium Dağ, Serkan; Yidirim, Bora; Ozatag, A. Cihan (2009-11-01) Analytical and computational methods are developed for contact mechanics analysis of functionally graded materials (FGMs) that possess elastic gradation in the lateral direction. In the analytical formulation, the problem of a laterally graded half-plane in sliding frictional contact with a rigid punch of an arbitrary profile is considered. The governing partial differential equations and the boundary conditions of the problem are satisfied through the use of Fourier transformation. The problem is then redu...
Hybrid finite element for analysis of functionally graded beams Sarıtaş, Afşin; Soydas, Ozan (2017-01-01) A hybrid finite element model is presented, where stiffness and mass distributions over a beam with functionally graded material (FGM) are accurately modeled for both elastic and inelastic material responses. Von Mises and Drucker-Prager plasticity models are implemented for metallic and ceramic parts of FGM, respectively. Three-dimensional stress-strain relations are solved by a general closest point projection algorithm, and then condensed to the dimensions of the beam element. Numerical examples and veri...
Thermal fracture analysis of orthotropic functionally graded materials using an equivalent domain integral approach Dağ, Serkan (2006-12-01) A new computational method based on the equivalent domain integral (EDI) is developed for mode I fracture analysis of orthotropic functionally graded materials (FGMs) subjected to thermal stresses. By using the constitutive relations of plane orthotropic thermoelasticity, generalized definition of the J-integral is converted to an equivalent domain integral to calculate the thermal stress intensity factor. In the formulation of the EDI approach, all the required thermomechanical properties are assumed to ha...
