Abstract

The purpose of this chapter is to modify the theory presented in Chap. 2 to account for a change of the constituent material—from the simple homogeneous isotropic metallic material to one that is anisotropic, or heterogeneous with multiple isotropic or fibre composite layers of different properties, or one that has its properties varying through the thickness in a continuous fashion—the so-called functionally graded material.
