Functionally graded material is of great importance in many engineering problems. Here the effect of multiple random inclusions in functionally graded material (FGM) is investigated in this paper. Since the geometry of entire model becomes complicated when many inclusions with different sizes appearing in the body, a methodology to model those inclusions without meshing the internal boundaries is proposed. The numerical method couples the level set method to the extended finite-element method (X-FEM). In the X-FEM, the finite-element approximation is enriched by additional functions through the notion of partition of unity. The level set method is used for representing the location of random inclusions. Numerical examples are presented to demonstrate the accuracy and potential of this technique. The obtained results are compared with available refered results and COMSOL, the finite element method software.

This paper applies the stochastic finite element method (SFEM) to perform the natural frequency analysis of functionally graded material (FGM). It is assumed that the elastic modulus and width of the FGM beam vary along the thickness and width directions following exponential functions. The stochastic eigenvalue problem is solved independently by first-order perturbation and Monte Carlo simulation (MCS) method through changing elastic modulus as spatial randomness. The results show that the first-order perturbation method based SFEM produces a very close value to MCS method.

Static and free vibration response analysis of a functionally graded piezoelectric material plate under thermal, electric, and mechanical loads is done in this study. The displacement field is acquired using the first-order shear deformation theory, and the Hamilton principle is applied to deduce the motion equations. Temperature-dependent material properties of the functionally graded material plate are used, and these properties follow the power-law distributions along the thickness direction. However, the properties of piezoelectric material layers are assumed to be independent of the electric field and temperature. Finite element formulation for the functionally graded piezoelectric material plate is done using the combined effect of mechanical and electrical loads. The effects of parameters like electrical loading, volume fraction exponent N, and temperature distribution on the static and free vibration characteristics of the functionally graded piezoelectric material square plate are analyzed and presented. Responses are obtained in terms of the centerline deflection, axial stress and the nondimensional natural frequency with various boundary conditions. It is observed that the centerline deflection and nondimensional natural frequency increases as exponent N increases. At the same time, the axial stress decreases with an increase in exponent N. The findings of the static and the free vibration analysis suggest the potential application of the functionally graded piezoelectric material plate in the piezoelectric actuator as well as for sensing deflection in bimorph.

In this work, stochastic perturbation-based vibration characteristics of cracked bi-material and functionally graded material (FGM) domain with uncertain material properties are investigated using the extended finite element method. The level set function is implemented to track the geometrical discontinuities. The partition of unity-based extrinsic enrichment technique is employed to model the crack and material interface. The exponential law is used to model the graded material properties of FGM. The First-order perturbation technique (FOPT) is implemented to predict the standard deviation of natural frequency for the given uncertainties in the material properties. The numerical results are presented to show the effect of geometrical discontinuities and material randomness on vibration characteristics.

An analytical approach for predicting the free vibration and elastic critical load of functionally graded material (FGM) thin cylindrical shells filled with internal pressured fluid is presented in this study. The vibration of the FGM cylindrical shell is described by the Flügge shell theory, where the internal static pressure is considered as the prestress term in the shell equations. The motion of the internal fluid is described by the acoustic wave equation. The natural frequencies of the FGM cylindrical shell under different internal pressures are obtained with the wave propagation method. The relationship between the internal pressure and the natural frequency of the cylindrical shell is analyzed. Then the linear extrapolation method is employed to obtain the elastic critical load of the FGM cylindrical shell from the condition that the increasing pressure has resulted in zero natural frequency. The accuracy of the present method is verified by comparison with the published results. The effects of gradient index, boundary conditions and structural parameters on the elastic critical load of the FGM cylindrical shell are discussed. Compared with the experimental and numerical analyses based on the external pressure, the present method is simple and easy to carry out.
