Abstract

An analytical methodology is shown for studying a crack in a functionally graded material subjected to an intense thermal shock load. A theoretical elastoplastic material modeling of the functionally graded material is presented. Also independently a computational procedure of an elastoplastic constitutive law is introduced with the use of a micromecnanics analysis and a hierarchical neural network algorithm. The material is composed of ZrO^ and 77-6A/-4V, where the plastic flow is considered to occur in the titanium alloy phase. To detect the crack-tip fracture severity in the highly inhomogeneous media, r*integral parameter is employed for the thermal shock problem of the cracked material.
