Description
Summary:A parametric formulation of the finite-volume theory for functionally graded materials is presented based on a mapping of a square reference subcell onto a quadrilateral subcell in the actual discretized microstructure. This formulation significantly advances the capability and utility of the theory, enabling modeling of curved boundaries of functionally graded structural components, as well as inclusions employed for grading purposes, without the disadvantage of stress concentrations at the corners of rectangular subcells used in the standard version.
