Functionally Graded Materials: Analysis and Applications to FGM, FG-CNTRC and FG Porous Structures. Questo articolo non è disponibile.Functionally Graded Materials: Analysis and Applications to FGM, FG-CNTRC and FG Porous Structures

Functionally Graded Materials: Analysis and Applications to FGM, FG-CNTRC and FG Porous Structures aims to disseminates knowledge between users, manufacturers, designers, and researchers involved in structures or structural components manufactured using functionally graded materials.

Despite a number of existing texts on the theory and analysis of plates and/or shells, there is not a single book that is devoted entirely to the analysis of functionally graded-based materials including FGMs, FG-CNTRCs and FG porous plates and shells. Functionally Graded Materials provides the reader with current research conducted in the field of composite materials, numerical simulations, computer methods and mechanical responses of structural components under different scenarios.

This book is a valuable reference source for postgraduate students, engineers, scientists, professors, researchers, and applied mathematicians in this field.

University of Gabes, Gabes, Tunisia. She was born on 01 June 1985 in Sfax where she received the
high school degree at Majida Boulila lyceum, in 2004. In 2009, she has received her mechanical engineering
degree from National Engineering School of Tunis (ENIT). She has received her P.h.d in
mechanical engineering in 2015 from National Engineering School of Tunis (ENIT) and FEMTOST
Institute, University of Franche-Comt´e, Besancon-France. Her research interests include finite
element analysis, composite structures, computers methods and simulations, advanced materials like
functionally graded materials (FGM), Carbon nanotubes, porosity, and graphene platelets, Structural
dynamics, vibrations, viscoelasticity, sandwich structures, Nonlinear dynamics, computational
structural mechanics, Stress analysis, Algorithms. Her group is particularly interested in research
problems related to structural advanced materials by developing finite element codes and computers
methods that able to investigate various geometries with different shapes and with a vast areas
of analysis like bending, vibrations, dynamics, mechanical and thermal buckling and post-buckling
responses of FGM, FG-CNTRC, porous-FGM based beams, plates and shells. An ambitious group
with a creative master head has published more than 200 scientific articles and communications
in the most recognized mechanical engineering journals and conferences proceedings. As a young
researcher in mechanical engineering field, she has received over 1500 citations and an h-index
of 17 (Data from Scopus January 2024). She is also a recognized reviewer in the most impactful
international journals through Elsevier, Springer, Taylor and Francis, Sages publishing CO.
