FGM Micro-constituent Distribution

Functionally Graded Materials' micro-constituents have spatially-varying and non-uniform distribution.

Study Notes

  • Functionally Graded Materials (FGMs) have a spatially-varying distribution of micro-constituents.
  • The distribution of these micro-constituents is non-uniform.
  • This non-uniformity and spatial variance is present within all building blocks of the composite material.
