Functionally graded materials (FGMs) offer a sophisticated avenue for engineering materials with tailored variations in properties, thereby facilitating the reduction of stress concentrations around ...

Stress concentration analysis in composite and orthotropic plates is a critical area of research that addresses the localisation of stress in regions of geometric discontinuity, such as holes or ...

A few guidelines show how to correctly use FEA stresses to find reasonable margins of safety. Although finite-element analysis has become an indispensable part of engineering, a few users knock it ...
