Development of functionally graded ZrB2–B4C composites for lightweight ultrahigh-temperature aerospace applications

Guidelines derived from biomineralized tissues for design and construction of high-performance biomimetic materials: from weak to strong

“…The stronger, tougher and lighter materials are always desirable for a variety of applications such as modern industry, cutting-edge technologies, construction and building materials, automobiles, advanced aerospace. [292][293][294][295][296] Lightweight materials are required to reduce the weight of materials while maintaining good enough properties and reliability. It is one of the most important laws for the design of natural materials, to achieve the optimized performance and high efficiency but with minimal consumption.…”

Optimization and Characterization of Centrifugal-Cast Functionally Graded Al-SiC Composite Using Response Surface Methodology and Grey Relational Analysis

“…In the context of FGMs, GRA can be used to optimize the properties of the material by determining the optimal distribution of the constituent materials along the thickness of the material [53,54]. Functionally graded composites are materials that have varying properties and composition along their length or thickness, which can result in improved performance and functionality [55,56]. The GRA method involves comparing the performance of different main parameters against a set of criteria or objectives, such as mechanical properties or cost [57,58].…”

High-Throughput Multi-Principal Element Alloy Exploration Using a Novel Composition Gradient Sintering Technique

“…In balance with bulk mechanical properties like fatigue resistance, which was analyzed by Ghorbanpour et al on graded IN718 [5], FGMs for aerospace applications must also display heat, oxidation, and corrosion resistance near the component surfaces, as mentioned in a review by Naebe and Shirvanimoghaddam [6]. This was demonstrated experimentally by Choi et al [7] and Mohammadzadzki et al [8] with graded YSZ thermal barrier coatings that functioned as heat shields, as well as by Naik et al [9] with heatresistant, graded ZrB 2 -B 4 C ultra-high temperature ceramic. Likewise, graded biomedical components can extend service lifetime through improved fracture toughness, as shown by Bahraminasab et al [10] and Fujii et al [11] with Ti-Al 2 O 3 and Ti-TiH 2 ceramic alloy composites.…”
