Abstract: In recent years functionally-graded composites have been proposed to develop strong surfaces that can withstand high contact and frictional forces. The present work presents a new graded composite ...

Abstract: Functionally graded materials (FGMs) are composite materials that exhibit a microstructure that varies locally in order to achieve a specific type of local material properties distribution. In ...

Abstract: Pressure-driven flows over a square cavity are studied numerically for Bingham plastics exhibiting a yield stress. The problem is encountered whenever pressure measurements are made by a drilled-hole ...
