Analytical and computational methods are developed for contact mechanics analysis of functionally graded materials (FGMs) that possess elastic gradation in the lateral direction. In the analytical formulation, the problem ...

Aluminium and aluminium alloys are widely used in production of electrical conductors, owing to their mechanical strength and electrical conductivity properties. Also, aluminium is cheaper and lighter than copper. Thus, ...

In most of the helicopter platforms, usage of vertical or sideward ejection seats are not preferred since it is not practical considering the existence of the rotating main rotor blades on top and the spinning action caused ...
