Welcome to the home page of FGM Research Group at the Mechanical Engineering Department of Boğaziçi University. Functionally Graded Materials (FGMs) are materials possessing a continuous spatial variation of properties and typically are composed of a metal/ceramic combination in which their relative volume fractions are continuously changed from metal on one side to ceramic on the other side. FGMs are candidate materials for simultaneously providing both structural support and thermal, impact or wear protection. Our research is on  the mechanics and fracture of FGMs.
