Written in a clear, concise style by a recognized researcher in this field, this book introduces the modeling of functionally graded materials (FGMs) and presents the derivation of the governing equations of FGM plates in the von Karman sense. It presents the geometrically...

Put a New Class of Structural Composites to Use Real Solutions for Predicting Load Initially designed as thermal barrier materials for aerospace applications and fusion reactors, functionally graded materials (FGMs) are now widely employed as structural components in extremely...
