Functionally Graded Material
Functionally Graded Material
(OP)
Hello,
I want to model a functionally graded material(FGM) in ABAQUS. I am reading literature and most of the people of modeling in ABAQUS, I am still trying in the process of reading information about FGM.
Can anybody who have developed FGM in abaqus guide me the way to go?
Thanks for the time.

RE: Functionally Graded Material
If so, for modeling a FGM you can:
-assign different material properties to individual elements
-make the material properties dependent on field variables and change the value of field variable at different nodes according to the spatial distribution of the material properties.
-write your own constitutive subroutine, which is is supplied with the material point coordinates, and therefore allows local modeling of the material response
