Abstract:
Functionally graded materials (FGMs) are widely used in the aerospace industry, especially for the thermal protection shields of aerospace vehicles. Studies show that the initiation and expansion of micro-cracks are important factors that adversely affect the service life of these shields. Based on the peridynamic theory of bonds, an improved peridynamic model is proposed in the present study for FGMs. In the proposed model, integral equivalence is applied to calculate the required material parameters. Obtained results reveal that this method can better reflect the gradient change of material properties.

Dynamic Modulus of Elasticity of Concrete
The sonic test is a common method to determine the dynamic modulus. In this test, a concrete beam, sized either 6 x 6 x 30 inches or 4 x 4 x 20 inches, is clamped at its center. Vibrations are initiated at one end of the beam by an electromagnetic exciter unit powered by...
