Abstract
Functionally graded materials (FGMs) are a new generation of engineered materials wherein the microstructural details are spatially varied through nonuniform distribution of the reinforcement phase(s), by using reinforcement with different properties, sizes and shapes, as well as by interchanging the roles of reinforcement and matrix phases in a continuous manner [1], The result is a microstructure that produces continuously changing thermal and mechanical properties at the macroscopic or continuum scale (examples illustrating different types of functionally graded microstructures are presented in Figure 1). This new concept of engineering the material’s microstructure marks the beginning of a new revolution in both the materials science and mechanics of materials areas since it allows, for the first time, to fully integrate both the material and structural considerations into the final design of structural components.
