Notes:
A theoretical model is applied to the analysis of thermomechanical properties of Al-SiCpFGMs in this study. Functionally graded Al-SiCp composites (Al-SiCp FGMs) consisted with 10layers gradually changing volume fractions of Al and SiCp were fabricated using the pressurelessinfiltration technique. Al-SiCp FGMs plates of total thickness of 3mm, 5mm and 7mm with fairlyuniform distribution and compositional gradient of SiCp reinforcement in the Al matrix throughoutthe thickness was successfully fabricated. The curvature of Al-SiCp FGM plates was measured tocheck the internal stress distribution predicted via a theoretical model for the analysis of thermomechanicaldeformation. The evolution of curvature and also internal stresses in response totemperature variations could be predicted for the different combinations of geometric thickness ofFGM plates. Theoretical prediction of thermally induced stress distribution makes it possible todesign FGM structures without any critical failure during the usage of them
