Scientists have succeeded in applying the concept of functionally graded materials to shape memory polymers. A team led by Patrick T. Mather, director of Syracuse Biomaterials Institute (SBI) and ...
The team developed a computational framework using robotic path planning algorithms to rapidly identify optimal composition gradients between dissimilar materials. The framework enables the creation ...
A functionally graded material (FGM) is a two-component composite characterised by a compositional gradient from one component to the other. In contrast, traditional composites are homogeneous ...
How additive manufacturing advanced the development of functionally graded materials. Why compositionally graded materials present a greater challenge to materials engineers. How computational ...
