Software simulation of mechanical behavior of beams and sheets made of Functionally Graded Material

Functionally Graded Materials are a kind of composite materials which their mechanical and thermal properties have gradual changes in their thickness. In recent years, functionally graded materials have found importance and significance in environments such as nuclear reactors and chemical products. Beams and sheets as one of the most important elements in engineering structures have always been considered by researchers. Extensive usage of sheets in various industries, including aerospace, shipbuilding, reactors, construction and other industries, requires the analysis of their mechanical behavior. According to the expanded use of functionally graded materials in various industries and since the main use of these materials is in high temperature environments, in this article we have investigated the mechanical behavior of beams made of functionally graded materials in ABAQUS software.
