...Serkan Dag; K. Ayse Ilhan This article presents analytical and computational methods for mixed-mode fracture analysis of an orthotropic functionally graded material (FGM) coating-bond coat-substrate structure. The analytical solution is developed by considering an embedded crack in the orthotropic...

...Hamed Hatami-Marbini; Hossein M. Shodja The determination of the thermo-mechanical stress field in and around a spherical/cylindrical inhomogeneity surrounded by a functionally graded (FG) coating, which in turn is embedded in an infinite medium, is of interest. The present work, in the frame work...

...B. L. Wang; Y.-W. Mai A periodic array of cracks in a functionally graded coating bonded to a homogeneous substrate is considered. The medium is subjected to transient or static mechanical loads. The problem is formulated in terms of a singular integral equation with the crack face displacement...

...A. Wikstro¨m; P. Gudmundson, Mem. ASME Thermal curvature changes and membrane strains are analyzed for elastic shallow shell substrates which are coated by thin, generally inelastic, inhomogeneous and anisotropic layers. The analysis is restricted to linear kinematics. It is shown...

...Y. B. Chang, Mem. ASME; P. M. Moretti, Mem. ASME Air-flotation ovens are widely used for noncontact support and drying of coated paper and plastic films (generically called webs). The main components in typical air-flotation ovens are air bars which have slot nozzles or holes through which hot air...
