This book, which is based on the Ph.D. dissertation of Dr. Serkan Dag, presents methods of analysis for the solutions of crack and contact problems in functionally graded materials (FGMs). Among the problems for which new analytical solution procedures are presented are: mixed-mode surface cracking in a graded medium, interaction of a contact stress field with a surface crack and coupled crack and contact problems in graded materials. The first part of the book describes an analytical approach based on the singular integral equations for the analysis of a surface crack located in...
