Phase field modelling of crack propagation in functionally graded materials
Hirshikesh, Sundararajan Natarajan, Ratna K. Annabattula +1
We present a phase field formulation for fracture in functionally graded materials (FGMs). The model builds upon homogenization theory and accounts for the spatial variation of ela…
Size effects in elastic-plastic functionally graded materials
Tittu V. Mathew, Sundararajan Natarajan, Emilio Martínez-Pañeda
We develop a strain gradient plasticity formulation for composite materials with spatially varying volume fractions to characterize size effects in functionally graded materials (F…
Assessment of certain higher-order structural models based on global approach for bending analysis of curvilinear composite laminates
Anand Venkatachari, Sundararajan Natarajan, K Ramajeyathilagam +1
In this paper, the performance of different structural models based on global approach in evaluating the static response of curvilinear fibre composite laminates is analyzed. A Co…
Panel flutter characteristics of sandwich plates with CNT reinforced face sheets using an accurate higher-order theory
A Sankar, S Natarajan, M Haboussi +2
In this paper, the flutter characteristics of sandwich panels with carbon nanotube (CNT) reinforced face sheets are investigated using QUAD-8 shear flexible element developed based…
