✦ Synopsis

The propagation of stress waves in functionally graded materials (FGMs) is studied numerically by means of the composite wave-propagation algorithm. Two distinct models of FGMs are considered: (i) a multilayered metal-ceramic composite with averaged properties within layers; (ii) randomly embedded ceramic particles in a metal matrix with prescribed volume fraction. The numerical simulation demonstrates the applicability of that algorithm to the modelling of FGMs without any averaging procedure. The analysis based on simulation shows significant differences in the stress wave characteristics for the distinct models that can be used for optimizing the response of such structures to impact loading.

One of the main interests of fracture mechanics in functionally graded materials is the influence of such an inhomogeneity on crack propagation processes. Using the Griffith' energy principle, the change of energy has to be calculated, if the crack starts to propagate. In homogeneous linear-elastic

## Abstract Increasingly, it is acknowledged that bone resorption around cementless hip implants may cause future problems. The solution is frequently sought in reducing implant stiffness. However, this confronts the designer with a true design conflict: how to reduce the stiffness without excessiv
