Sandwich structures usually consist of high-strength thin skins bonded to a significantly
thicker, less dense, and weaker core material. Sandwich structures are most useful in …

This paper delivers a detailed review of the influence of material and process variables on
the microstructure, mechanical and tribological characteristics of functionally graded …

For a development of aerospace structures in high-temperature regions, Functionally
Graded Materials (FGMs) have been used rather than conventional composites. In this …

A novel sun-powered smart window blind (SPSWB) system has been designed and
developed for the smart control of building envelopes to achieve the optimal internal comfort …

In the current research study, the blast performance of sandwich panels with graded
polyurethane foam core and aluminum face sheets with the same mass and different …

Abstract Functionally Graded Materials (FGMs) are characterized by the distribution in
composition and structure gradually over volume, which were recently designed and …

When a large building integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) panel is subjected to surface loading,
due to the small thickness and large span of the building pane, the high transverse …

A five-layered aluminum–copper metal functionally graded material was developed through
powder metallurgy process. The sample comprises different weight percentages of copper …

The Green's function technique has been used to directly calculate the local fields of a
functionally graded material (FGM) under thermomechanical loading, thus predicting its …

Authors in this work investigate nonlinear vibration of different types of functionally graded
tube in the theoretical framework of nonlocal strain graded theory. They are tubes with inside …
