Functionally graded materials are an advanced class of composite materials characterized by spatially varying properties and are designed to optimize the performance through the distribution of the desired property. A functionally graded material eliminates the sharp interface between dissimilar materials and possesses a gradual variation from one material to other. The research in this area is still in nascent stage. It has many promising applications in different fields like biomedical, defence, structural engineering etc. As compared to the conventional homogeneous, isotropic materials these are complex in the analysis and design procedures. This paper presents a critical review on the mechanics and behaviour of the functionally graded materials towards their applications in structural engineering, specifically in the design of protective structures. Besides this, a brief description is also provided with suitable formulations regarding the gradation of the properties in a particular direction to achieve the desired functionality. |
