Abstract

Functionally gradient materials (FGM) are one of the most widely used advanced materials because of their adaptability to different situations by changing the material constituents. In recent decades, the crack problems of FGMs have attracted a significant amount of attention. This paper presents a comprehensive review of developments, applications, mathematical idealizations, computational and experimental methods, and solutions that are adopted for the analysis of FGMs. In spite of the variety of methods used to date of analysis of fracture behavior of FGMs, several common themes have emerged. Many of these works provide a fundamental understanding of the basic fracture behavior of the material. An attempt has been made to classify various numerical methods used for the crack and fatigue analyses of FGMs. Finally, some vital suggestions for future scope of research in the area of FGMs are presented. It is hoped that this review paper will serve the interests of all the academicians, researchers, and engineers involved in the analysis and design of FGMs.
