Functionally graded materials(FGMs) involve dual-phase graded layers in which two different constituents are mixed continuously and functionally according to a given volume fraction. For the analysis of their thermo-mechanical response, conventional homogenized methods have been widely employed in order to estimate equivalent material properties of the graded layer. However, such overall estimations are insufficient to accurately predict the local behavior. In this paper, we compare the thermo-elastic behaviors predicted by several overall material-property estimation techniques with those obtained by discrete analysis models utilizing the finite element method, for various volume fractions and loading conditions.

기능경사 소재(FGM)에는 서로 다른 두 가지 구성입자들이 혼합되어 있는 경사층(graded layer)이 삽입되어, 소재 전 영역에 걸쳐 구성입자의 체적분율이 연속적이고 기능적으로 변화하도록 되어있다. 이러한 이상(dual-phase) 입자복합재의 열 기계적 거동을 해석함에 있어 필수적인 경사층의 물성치는 전통적으로 균질화 기법을 이용하여 예측되었다. 하지만, 이러한 균질화 기법은 구성입자의 형태, 분산구조 등과 같은 상세 형상을 반영하지 못하지 때문에 복합재의 총체적인 등가 물성치 예측에만 국한 되어왔다. 이러한 맥락에서 본 연구에서는 경사층을 미시역학적으로 이산화 모델링하고, 다양한 체적분율과 외부 하중조건에 대해 유한요소해석을 실시하여 이러한 균질화 기법들의 특성을 분석하였다.

A derivation is given of two-scale models that are able to describe deformation and flow in a fluid-saturated and progressively fracturing porous medium. From the micromechanics of the flow in the cavity, identities are derived that couple the local momentum and the mass balances to the governing equations for a fluid-saturated porous medium, which are assumed to hold on the macroscopic scale. By exploiting the partition-of-unity property of the finite element shape functions, the position and direction of the fractures are independent from the underlying discretization. The finite element equations are derived for this two-scale approach and integrated over time. The resulting discrete equations are nonlinear due to the cohesive crack model and the nonlinearity of the coupling terms. A consistent linearization is given for use within a Newton-Raphson iterative procedure. Finally, examples are given to show the versatility and the efficiency of the approach.
