Applied Math| Speaker: | Youn-Sha Chan, Oak-Ridge National Lab |

Description
Concept of functionally graded materials (FGMs) will be
introduced, and a brief review of strain gradient elasticity
will be given.
Governing partial differential equations for FGMs and strain
gradient elasticity are derived, and the corresponding Green's
functions will be presented.
Numerical methods solving the crack problems in FGMs with
strain gradient elasticity are discussed, and some numerical
results, including crack displacement profiles and stress
intensity factors, will be provided in the talk.
