Abstract

Transient solution of asymmetric mechanical and thermal stresses for hollow cylinders made of functionally graded material is presented. Temperature distribution, as function of radial and<br />circumferential directions and time, is analytically obtained, using the method of separation of variables and generalized Bessel function. A direct method is used to solve the Navier equations, using the Euler<br />equation and complex Fourier series.

Key Words

transient; thermoelasticity; functionally graded material; hollow cylinder.
