Abstract
Functionally graded materials (FGMs) using the finite element method (FEM) with C0 elements, focusing on the examination of material variable parameters. The research advances the understanding of FGMs through a thermo-structural analysis of an FGM disk, assessing its response under thermal and mechanical loads. Thermal and thermo-mechanica analysis demonstrates the precision of the proposed approach in delineating the complex behavior of FGMs under diverse conditions. The research contributes to enrich the comprehension of FGM behavior using simple FEM models.
