Funded Activity Summary

Fracture Mechanics of Functionally Graded Materials: Coupled Thermoelectromechanical Problems. The primary goal of this project is to develop mathematical and computational models and techniques that are capable of novel design of functionally graded materials and structures that can dramatically increase the performance and reliability of artificial structures and devices. The applications areas are broad: from lightweight thermal protective coatings used in high-temperature environments to biological hard tissues like bones and teeth. Efficient numerical methods will be developed to overcome difficulties encountered in material properties and loading conditions. The project will provide useful guidelines to design new, intelligent, multi-phase material systems, including biomaterial systems for biomedical applications.
