The pressing need to reduce global carbon emissions together with recent advances in
automated manufacturing have driven a growing interest in functionally graded concrete. In …

In this review paper, we concentrate on the use of boundary integral equation (BIE) based
methods for the numerical modeling of elastic wave motion in naturally occurring media. The …

Dynamic stress intensity factors (DSIFs) are important fracture parameters in understanding
and predicting dynamic fracture behavior of a cracked body. To evaluate DSIFs for both …

In-plane wave propagation in layered phononic crystals composed of functionally graded
interlayers arisen from the solid diffusion of homogeneous isotropic materials of the crystal is …

A three-dimensional modelling of free vibrations and static response of functionally graded
material (FGM) sandwich plates is presented. Natural frequencies and associated mode …

The aim of the study is to evaluate the 3D dynamic response of a finite geological region
containing two structures and rested on a semi-infinite elastic layered half-space with a …

In this paper, a numerical axisymmetric elastic stress wave propagation analysis of the 2D-
FGM hollow thick finite cylinder has been performed. The new accurate material distribution …

In this paper, natural frequencies characteristics of a thick hollow cylinder with finite length
made of two-dimensional functionally graded material (2D-FGM) based on three …

We use the modified smoothed particle hydrodynamics (MSPH) method to study the
propagation of elastic waves in functionally graded materials. An artificial viscosity is added …

A hierarchical representation for heterogeneous object modeling is presented in this paper.
To model a heterogeneous object, Boundary representation is used for geometry …
