Biography:
Larry Byrd is a member of the Experimental Verification branch of the Structures Division of the Air Vehicles Directorate of the Air Force Research Laboratory at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Dayton, OH. He has worked with high temperature structures in extreme thermal and acoustic environments for more than ten years. His research has spanned the use of heat pipes to the sonic fatigue life of ceramic matrix composites and titanium/titanium boride functionally graded materials. He received BS and MS degrees in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Iowa and a PhD. from North Carolina State University. He has taught at Arkansas State University, Jonesboro, AR and Wright State University, Fair- born, OH.

ABSTRACT: This paper presents a review of the principal developments in functionally graded materials (FGMs) with an emphasis on the recent work published since 2000. Diverse areas relevant to various aspects of theory and applications of FGM are reflected in this paper. They include homogenization of particulate FGM, heat transfer issues, stress, stability and dynamic analyses, testing, manufacturing and design, applications, and fracture. The critical areas where further research is needed for a successful implementation of FGM in design are outlined in the conclusions.
