Modeling and Simulation
Numerical methods have been developed for modeling and simulating mechanical behavior of FGM. Methods that allow material property varying continuously in elements was proposed by researchers in Japan in 1990. Numerical methods were also used to analyze surface waves in piezo FGM.

Famous quotes containing the words modeling and/or simulation:
“The computer takes up where psychoanalysis left off. It takes the ideas of a decentered self and makes it more concrete by modeling mind as a multiprocessing machine.”
—Sherry Turkle (b. 1948)
“Life, as the most ancient of all metaphors insists, is a journey; and the travel book, in its deceptive simulation of the journey’s fits and starts, rehearses life’s own fragmentation. More even than the novel, it embraces the contingency of things.”
—Jonathan Raban (b. 1942)
