    Static analysis of functionally graded beams using higher order shear deformation theory
    (2008) Kadoli, R.; Akhtar, K.; Ganesan, N.
    Displacement field based on higher order shear deformation theory is implemented to study the static behavior of functionally graded metal-ceramic (FGM) beams under ambient temperature. FGM beams with variation of volume fraction of metal or ceramic based on power law exponent are considered. Using the principle of stationary potential energy, the finite element form of static equilibrium equation for FGM beam is presented. Two stiffness matrices are thus derived so that one among them will reflect the influence of rotation of the normal and the other shear rotation. Numerical results on the transverse deflection, axial and shear stresses in a moderately thick FGM beam under uniform distributed load for clamped-clamped and simply supported boundary conditions are discussed in depth. The effect of power law exponent for various combination of metal-ceramic FGM beam on the deflection and stresses are also commented. The studies reveal that, depending on whether the loading is on the ceramic rich face or metal rich face of the beam, the static deflection and the static stresses in the beam do not remain the same. © 2007 Elsevier Inc.

    Growth and thermal studies on pure ADP, KDP and mixed K 1-x(NH4)xH2PO4 crystals
    (2010) Shenoy, P.; Bangera, K.V.; Shivakumar, G.K.
    The investigations on the formation of mixed crystals of ammonium dihydrogen orthophosphate (ADP) and potassium dihydrogen orthophosphate (KDP) i.e. potassium ammonium dihydrogen phosphate, K1-x(NH 4)xH2PO4 have been presented in this paper. Pure and mixed crystals of ADP and KDP have been grown by slow evaporation technique from the supersaturated solution at an ambient temperature 26±1 °C for ammonium concentration x in the range 0.0 ? × ? 1.0 in the case of mixed crystals. Crystal compositions were determined by flame atomic absorption spectroscopy and chemical analysis. The results of the X-ray analysis of the grown crystals are also reported. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential thermal analysis (DTA) were used to study the kinetic process of dehydration and the high temperature phase behaviour. DTA showed the distinct thermal events attributed to dehydration of ADP, KDP and K1-x(NH4)xH2PO4. The results of thermal analysis and chemical analysis are consistent with each other. © 2010 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim.
