Characterization of discretely graded materials using acoustic wave propagation

Functionally graded materials (FGMs) have great potential as energy absorbing devices, electrical transducers, thermal barriers, etc. Study of the propagation of elastic waves is imperative for a number of such applications. In this paper, a simple one-dimensional model is proposed to study the stre...
