Dr Supen Kumar Sah from the Department of Mechanical Engineering has contributed a book chapter titled Buckling Analysis of Porous Uni-directional Functionally Graded Material Sandwich Plate Using Sinusoidal Shear Deformation Theory. Intended for both academia and industry, this work will advance the understanding and application of functionally graded materials in high-performance engineering structures supporting innovation in lightweight and resilient design.
Brief Abstract of the Book:
The buckling response of a uni-directional porous functionally graded material sandwich plate has been studied under bi-axial compressive loads, utilizing sinusoidal shear deformation theory. This research examines the effects of porosity distribution, sandwich thickness ratio, gradation index, and geometric parameters on the critical buckling load. The findings of this study are valuable for aerospace applications.
Significance of the Book:
This study is significant for the safety and design of advanced aerospace and marine structures. Incorporating porosity and Uni-directional FGM allows engineers to predict how manufacturing defects and material transitions affect structural integrity. This is vital for determining the Critical Buckling Load, ensuring that lightweight sandwich panels don’t collapse suddenly under high pressure. Ultimately, it enables the creation of safer, optimized, and heat-resistant components for spacecraft and high-speed vehicles.
