We introduce a peridynamic model for functionally graded materials (FGMs) and study their
dynamic fracture behavior. After verification of elastic wave propagation in FGMs and …

Crack propagation in functionally graded materials containing micro cracks is investigated
using ordinary state-based Peridynamic theory. This study focuses on the dynamic fracture …

Functionally graded materials are regarded as a special kind of composites capable of
eliminating material interfaces and the delamination problems. Stress discontinuity can be …

Dynamic crack propagation assessment in functionally graded materials (FGMs) with micro-
cracks is accomplished using bond-based Peridynamics (PD). The dynamic fracture …

In this study, a bond-based peridynamic (PD) model for functionally graded materials
