A two dimensional thermo elasto-plastic finite element stress analysis was performed to study stress distributions in functionally gradient material.
The upper ZrO₂ surface is heated at 1200K until a steady state is established and cooled at 300K. The influences on the thermal stress distributions due to the difference of compositional gradient exponent p were investigated.
In this study, we obtained the thermal stresses are low for p=1.
