Three-dimensional thermoelastic analysis is presented for an orthotropic functionally graded rectangular plate, which is simply supported and isothermal on its four lateral edges. With the assumption that material properties have arbitrary dependence on the thickness-coordinate a Peano-Baker series solution is obtained for the thermoelastic fields of the functionally graded plate subjected to mechanical[ and thermal loads on its upper and lower surfaces by means of state space method. The correctness of the obtained series solution is validated through numerical examples. The influence of different material properties distributions on the structural response of the plate is also studied.
The plane strain problem of a crack in a functionally graded strip with a power form shear modulus is studied. The governing equation in terms of Airy＇s stress function is solved exactly by means of Fourier transform. The mixed boundary problem is then reduced to a system of singular integral equations and is solved numerically to obtain the stress intensity factor at crack-tip. The maximum circumferential stress criterion and the strain energy density criterion are both employed to predict the direction of crack initiation. Numerical examples are given to show the influence of the material gradation models and the crack sizes on the mode-I and mode-II stress intensity factors. The dependence of the critical kink-angle on the crack size is examined and it is found that the crack kink-angle decreases with the increase of the normalized crack length, indicating that a longer crack tends to follow the original crack-line while it is much easier for a shorter crack to deviate from the original crack-line.
