Laser flash technique was applied to measure thermal properties of FGM made by a CVD method. System stability and reproducibility of this measuring system were proved and calibrated with glassy carbon used as reference material. Specimens was prepared by cutting FGM diagonally. Measurements were performed for a wide range of temperatures up to 1500K. Relative heat capacity of the FGM specimen was scattered with in $\pm$13% at room temperature and at high temperature above 1200K, and $\pm$3% at medium temperature range. On the other hand, thermal diffusivity data showed excellent reproducibility and stability through the whole temperature range. In conclusion, the multi-target radiometer can be applied to measure the thermal properties of non homogeneous materials like FGM.

A theoretical method is presented to investigate the thermoelastic and dynamic response of functionally graded material (FGM) rectangular plates made up of metal and ceramic. The temperature is assumed to be constant in the plane of the plate and to vary in the thickness direction only. Material properties are assumed to be temperature-dependant, and vary continuously through the thickness according to a power law distribution in terms of the volume fraction of the constituents. The third order shear deformation theory (TSDT) to account for rotary inertia and transverse shear strains is adopted to formulate the theoretical model. The modal analysis technique is used to develop the analytic solutions of the dynamic problem. The effect of material compositions and temperature fields is examined. The present theoretical results are verified by comparing with those from finite element analysis by ANSYS.

The coupled fluid-structure interaction problem is analyzed using the theoretical method to investigate the coupled vibration characteristics of functionally graded material(FGM) cylindrical shells conveying an incompressible, inviscid fluid. Material properties are assumed to vary continuously through the thickness according to a power law distribution in terms of the volume fraction of the constituents. The steady flow of fluid is described by the classical potential flow theory. The motion of shell represented by the first order shear deformation theory(FSDT) to account for rotary inertia and transverse shear strains. The effect of internal fluid can be taken into consideration by imposing a relation between the fluid pressure and the radial displacement of the structure at the interface. Numerical examples are presented and compared with exiting results.

The vibration analysis of a rotating cantilever beam made-up of functionally graded materials is presented based on Timoshenko beam theory. The material properties of the beams are assumed to be varied through the thickness direction following a simple power-law form. The frequency equations, which are coupled through gyroscopic coupling terms, are calculated using hybrid deformation variable modeling along with the Rayleigh-Ritz assumed mode methods. In this study, resulting system of ordinary differential equations shows the effects of power-law exponent, angular speed, length to height ratio and Young's modulus ratio. It is believed that the results will be a reference with which other researchers and commercial FE analysis program, ANSYS can compare their results.

In the recent years, functionally graded materials(FGM) have gained considerable attention in the high temperature environment applications. In the present work, study of the deflection and vibration of a functionally graded rectangular plate made of Ti-6Al-4V and Al$_2$O$_3$ is presented. Material properties are graded in the thickness direction of the plate according to volume fraction power law distribution Effects of volume fractions(power law exponent) on the deflection and natural frequency of FGM plate is studied. Also effects of temperature is studied. Wavier Solution is used to analyzed the FGM plate.

Optimal design of functionally graded plates is investigated considering stress and critical temperature. Material properties are assumed to be temperature dependent and varied continuously in the thickness direction. The effective material properties are obtained by applying linear rule of mixtures. The 3-D finite element model is adopted using an 18-node solid element to analyze more accurately the variation of material properties and temperature field in the thickness direction. For stress analysis, the tensile stress ratio and compressive stress ratio of the structure under mechanical load are investigated. In the thermo-mechanical buckling analysis, temperature at each node is obtained by solving the steady-state heat transfer problem and Newton-Raphson method is used for material nonlinear analysis. Finally, the optimal design of FGM plates is studied for stress reduction and improving thermo-mechanical buckling behavior, simultaneously.

A transient finite element simulation is developed for the two-dimensional thermoelastic contact problem of a stationary functionally graded material between sliding layers, with frictional heat generation. Thermoelastic instability in functionally graded materials is investigated. The critical speed of functionally graded material coating disk is larger than that of the conventional steel disk. The effect of the nonhomogeneity parameter in functionally graded material is also investigated. The results show that functionally gradient materials restrain the growth of perturbation and delay the contact separation.

압전 액츄에이터는 다른 종류의 액츄에이터와 비교할 때 높은 강성, 빠른 응답성의 우수한 특성을 가지고 있다. 벤더형 액츄에이터는 높은 변위의 장점을 가지나 높은 전기장과 기계적 부하인가시에는 내부 응력이 증가하므로서 신뢰성이 감소한다는 단점을 가지고 있다. 이러한 단점을 보완하기 위하여 여러 방법으로 내부 응력을 줄이려는 시도가 있으며 그중 하나는 경사기능 소재나 경사기능 구조를 가지는 액츄에이터의 개발이다. 본 연구에서는 경사기능 특성을 모사한 액츄에이터 구조를 제작하고 그 특성을 조사하였다. 두 가지의 압전상수 d31= - 220 pC/N, d31 =- 100 pC/N를 가지는 세라믹층을 적층하여 벤더형 액츄에이터의 특성을 관찰하였다. 그 결과 두 종류의 세라믹층으로 적층한 액츄에이터가 한가지 특성의 세라믹으로 제작한 액츄에이터 보다 전압인가시 20%이상의 우수한 변위 특성을 나타내었다. 이러한 변화는 내부 응력의 감소에 기인한 것으로 예상된다.
