Abstract

The present research project dwells on the quasi-static modeling of three-dimensional, functionally graded viscoelastic solids via the Boundary Element Method (BEM). Viscoelasticity is a wide subject, which is relevant to several engineering applications, specially within the realm of composites and polymeric materials. The project also includes the study of Functionally Graded Materials (FGMs). FGMs are key materials for technological applications e.g. in the biomedical and aerospatial industry. The project focuses on the implementation of BEM codes aimed at the simulation of three-dimensional viscoelastic, functionally graded solids. We present on following the problem formulation, objectives, methodology and the project timetable. (AU)
