Functionally graded materials (FGMs) are composites graded in one or more directions by
the mean volume fraction variation of their constituents in a continuous or stepwise design …

This paper presents the first attempt to investigate the fracture behavior of functionally
graded multilayer nanocomposite strip reinforced with a low content of graphene platelets …

The investigations applied the original concept of the formation of materials as hybrid
gradient composites. Two innovative technologies were used: formation by centrifugal slip …

Despite advances in contemporary micromechanics, there is a void in the literature on a
versatile method for estimating the effective properties of polycrystals comprising of highly …

In this study, quasi-static fracture of cracked specimens made of functionally graded material
is numerically investigated. As the main contribution and objective of the current work …

Under consideration is the finite-size scaling of the elastic properties in two-phase random
polycrystals with individual grains belonging to any arbitrary crystal class. These polycrystals …

In this paper, we develop unifying scaling laws describing the response of elastic
polycrystals at finite mesoscales. These polycrystals are made up of individual grains …

Dimensionless numbers play a vital role in the mechanics of continuous media.
Traditionally, dimensionless numbers have been more widely used in fluid mechanics and …

Under consideration is the finite-size scaling of elastic properties in single and two-phase
random polycrystals with individual grains belonging to any crystal class (from cubic to …
