Smart functionally graded coatings: modelling and applıcations

Abstract

In this study, the concept of smart functionally graded coatings, their history of formation, production methods, advantages and applications in different branches of contemporary engineering are presented.

By modeling the micro and macro mechanical properties of some structural elements covered with functionally graded coatings in various configurations, constitutive relations and basic equations are derived.

An analytical solution to the nonlinear vibration problem of functionally graded-sandwich shells using by the perturbation method is presented as an example.
