Functionally Graded Materials

This book aims to disseminates knowledge between users, manufacturers, designers and researchers involved in structures or structural components manufactured using functionally graded materials. Functionally Graded Materials: Analysis and Applications to FGM, FG-CNTRC and FG Porous Structures aims to disseminates knowledge between users, manufacturers, designers, and researchers involved in structures or structural components manufactured using functionally graded materials. Despite a number of existing texts on the theory and analysis of plates and/or shells, there is not a single book that is devoted entirely to the analysis of functionally graded-based materials including FGMs, FG-CNTRCs and FG porous plates and shells. Functionally Graded Materials provides the reader with current research conducted in the field of composite materials, numerical simulations, computer methods and mechanical responses of structural components under different scenarios. This book is a valuable reference source for postgraduate students, engineers, scientists, professors, researchers, and applied mathematicians in this field.
