Static Analysis of a Functionally Graded Beam Under Thermal and Mechanical Load

Shahbaa Basim Helal, Luay Sadiq Al-Ansari, Hafidh Hassan Mohammed

Abstract


This thesis includes a static analysis of a cantilever beam made of functionally graded materials (FGM). In the analytical modeling, trapezoidal and Simpson’s methods are used to solve for equations. ANSYS 17.2 is employed in the numerical modeling. The used materials to construct the functionally graded beam are ceramic (Al2O3) and nickel (Ni). Ceramic is placed on the top layer and the nickel is placed on the bottom layer. Then, the material properties between these two layers varied according to the power-law. The only displacement is of interest from performing analytical and numerical results. It was found that increasing the number of layers leads to increase in the accuracy of the results. It is found in cantilever beam that maximum deflection occurs when the FG beam layer is pure nickel (K = 0) while the minimum deflection happens when the FG beam layer is pure ceramic (k =100).
