Two-dimensional dynamic analysis of thermal stresses in a finite-length FG thick hollow cylinder subjected to thermal shock loading using an analytical method

This work is aiming to present an analytical method to study the dynamic behavior of thermoelastic stresses in a finite-length functionally graded (FG) thick hollow cylinder under thermal shock loading. The thermo-mechanical properties are assumed to vary continuously through the radial direction as a nonlinear power function. Using Laplace transform and series solution, the thermoelastic Navier equations in displacement form are solved analytically. The solution of the displacement field in the FG cylinder is obtained in the Laplace domain. Also, the fast Laplace inverse transform method (FLIT) is employed to transfer the results from Laplace domain to time domain. The effects of thermal shock loading on the dynamic characteristics of the FG thick hollow cylinder are studied in various points across the thickness of cylinder for various grading patterns of FGMs. A good agreement can be seen in the comparison of the obtained results based on the presented analytical method with published data.     

Coupled thermoelasticity and second sound in finite length functionally graded thick hollow cylinders (without energy dissipation)

In this article, the coupled thermoelasticity behavior of functionally graded thick hollow cylinders is studied. The governing coupled thermoelasticity and the energy equations are solved for a finite length functionally graded cylinder subjected to thermal shock load. The coupled thermoelastic equations are considered based on Green–Naghdi theory. The mechanical properties of cylinder are graded across the thickness as a power law function of radius. The cylinder is assumed to be made of many isotropic sub-cylinders (layers) across the thickness. Functionally graded properties are created by suitable arrangement of layers and governing equations are expanded in longitudinal direction by means of trigonometric function expansion. The Galerkin Finite Element and Newmark Methods are used to analyze the cylinder. The dynamic behavior of temperature distribution, mechanical displacement and thermal stresses is obtained and discussed. The second sound and elastic wave propagation are determined for various kinds of variation in the mechanical properties. The comparison of present results with published data shows the excellent agreement.

Meshless local Petrov–Galerkin method for coupled thermoelasticity analysis of a functionally graded thick hollow cylinder

In this article, coupled thermoelasticity (without energy dissipation) based on Green–Naghdi model is applied to functionally graded (FG) thick hollow cylinder. The meshless local Petrov–Galerkin method is developed to solve the boundary value problem. The Newmark finite difference method is used to treat the time dependence of the variables for transient problems. The FG cylinder is considered to be under axisymmetric and plane strain conditions and bounding surfaces of cylinder to be under thermal shock loading. The mechanical properties of FG cylinder are assumed to vary across thickness of cylinder in terms of volume fraction as nonlinear function. A weak formulation for the set of governing equations is transformed into local integral equations on local subdomains by using a Heaviside test function. Nodal points are regularly distributed along the radius of the cylinder and each node is surrounded by a uni-directional subdomain to which a local integral equation is applied. The Green–Naghdi coupled thermoelasticity equations are valid in each isotropic subdomain. The temperature and radial displacement distributions are obtained for some grading patterns of FGM at various time instants. The propagation of thermal and elastic waves is discussed in details. The presented method shows high capability and efficiency for coupled thermoelasticity problems.     

Three-dimensional multi-field equations of a functionally graded piezoelectric thick shell with variable thickness, curvature and arbitrary nonhomogeneity

The present research develops a three-dimensional multi-field formulation of a functionally graded piezoelectric thick shell of revolution by using tensor analysis. An orthogonal curvilinear coordinate system was employed, and basic geometric equations were derived for an arbitrary thick shell of revolution with variable thickness and curvature. Mechanical and electrical properties were assumed to vary along a three-dimensional orthogonal coordinate system with arbitrary functional distribution. The functional of the introduced shell was derived by using kinetic and potential energy of the structure based on three orthogonal displacement components, electric potential and material properties. The final differential equations were derived in general state for every arbitrary structure and material property distributions. The obtained equations were reduced for functionally graded and functionally graded piezoelectric cylindrical shells and the mentioned reduced equations were verified by comparison with the literature. Trueness and generality of the present results can be justified by capability of these equations for different geometries and material properties.

Static analysis of functionally graded cylindrical shell with piezoelectric layers using differential quadrature method

Three-dimensional solution for static analysis of functionally graded (FG) cylindrical shell with bonded piezoelectric layers is presented using differential quadrature method (DQM) and state-space approach. Applying the DQM to the governing differential equations and to the edges boundary conditions, new state equations about state variables at discrete points are derived. The stress, displacement, and electric potential distributions are obtained by solving these state equations. The convergence and accuracy of the present method is validated by comparing numerical results for the hybrid FG cylindrical shell with simply-supported edges with the analytical solution that has been published in the literature. Both the direct and the inverse piezoelectric effects are investigated and the influence of piezoelectric layers and gradient index on the mechanical behavior of shell is studied.     

A four-variable refined shear-deformation beam theory for thermo-mechanical vibration analysis of temperature-dependent FGM beams with porosities

This article proposes a four-variable shear deformation refined beam theory for thermo-mechanical vibration characteristics of porous, functionally graded (FG) beams exposed to various kinds of thermal loadings by using an analytical method. Thermo-mechanical properties of functionally graded material (FGM) beams are supposed to vary through the thickness direction, and are estimated through the modified power-law rule in which the porosities with even and uneven types are approximated. The material properties of FGM beams are supposed to be temperature dependent. Porosities possibly occur inside FGMs during fabrication because of technical problems that lead to the creation of microvoids in these materials. The variation of pores along the thickness direction influences the mechanical properties. Thus, it is incumbent to predict the effect of porosities on the thermo-mechanical vibration behavior of FG beam in the present study. Four types of thermal loading, namely, uniform, linear, nonlinear, and sinusoidal temperature rises through the z-axis direction are discussed. The governing differential equations and boundary conditions of FG porous beams subjected to thermal loadings are formulated through Hamilton's principle, based on a four-variable refined theory that considers a constant transverse displacement and higher order variation of axial displacement through the depth of the beam without the need of any shear correction factors. An analytical solution procedure is used to achieve the natural frequencies of porous FG beams subjected to various temperature fields. The impact of several specific parameters such as power-law exponent, porosity volume fraction, different porosity distribution, and thermal effect on the vibration of the porous FG beams is perused and discussed in detail. It is deduced that these parameters play a notable role on the thermo-dynamic behavior of porous FG beams. Presented numerical results can serve as benchmarks for the future analyses of FG beams with porosity phases.     

Accurate solution for free vibration analysis of functionally graded thick rectangular plates resting on elastic foundation

Vibration analysis of a functionally graded rectangular plate resting on two parameter elastic foundation is presented here. The displacement filed based on the third order shear deformation plate theory is used. By considering the in-plane displacement components of an arbitrary material point on the mid-plane of the plate and using Hamilton’s principle, the governing equations of motion are obtained which are five highly coupled partial differential equations. An analytical approach is employed to decouple these partial differential equations. The decoupled equations of functionally graded rectangular plate resting on elastic foundation are solved analytically for levy type of boundary conditions. The numerical results are presented and discussed for a wide range of plate and foundation parameters. The results show that the Pasternak (shear) elastic foundation drastically changes the natural frequency. It is also observed that in some boundary conditions, the in-plane displacements have significant effects on natural frequency of thick functionally graded plates and they cannot be ignored.     

Geometrically nonlinear static and free vibration analysis of functionally graded piezoelectric plates

In this paper, nonlinear static and free vibration analysis of functionally graded piezoelectric plates has been carried out using finite element method under different sets of mechanical and electrical loadings. The plate with functionally graded piezoelectric material (FGPM) is assumed to be graded through the thickness by a simple power law distribution in terms of the volume fractions of the constituents. Only the geometrical nonlinearity has been taken into account and electric potential is assumed to be quadratic across the FGPM plate thickness. The governing equations are obtained using potential energy and Hamilton’s principle that includes elastic and piezoelectric effects. The finite element model is derived based on constitutive equation of piezoelectric material accounting for coupling between elasticity and electric effect using higher order plate elements. The present finite element is modeled with displacement components and electric potential as nodal degrees of freedom. Results are presented for two constituent FGPM plate under different mechanical boundary conditions. Numerical results for PZT-4/PZT-5H plate are given in dimensionless graphical forms. Effects of material composition and boundary conditions on nonlinear response are also studied. The numerical results obtained by the present model are in good agreement with the available solutions reported in the literature.     

Thermal buckling analysis of functionally graded material beams

Buckling of beams made of functionally graded material under various types of thermal loading is considered. The derivation of equations is based on the Euler–Bernoulli beam theory. It is assumed that the mechanical and thermal nonhomogeneous properties of beam vary smoothly by distribution of power law across the thickness of beam. Using the nonlinear strain–displacement relations, equilibrium equations and stability equations of beam are derived. The beam is assumed under three types of thermal loading, namely; uniform temperature rise, nonlinear, and linear temperature distribution through the thickness. Various types of boundary conditions are assumed for the beam with combination of roller, clamped and simply-supported edges. In each case of boundary conditions and loading, a closed form solution for the critical buckling temperature for the beam is presented. The formulations are compared using reduction of results for the functionally graded beams to those of isotropic homogeneous beams given in the literature.

The model has been verified with the results of simple analytical isotropic cylindrical shells subjected to a transient thermal loading. Additional FGM results for stresses and displacements are presented.

The present article deals with the investigation thermal stress of a magnetothermoelastic cylinder subjected to rotation, open or closed circuit, thermal and mechanical boundary conditions. The outer and inner surfaces of the cylinder are subjected to both mechanical and thermal boundary conditions. A The transient coupled thermoelasticity in an infinite cylinder with its base abruptly exposed to a heat flux of a decaying exponential function of time is devised solve by the finite-difference method.

Analysis of elastic wave propagation in a functionally graded thick hollow cylinder using a hybrid mesh-free method

In this paper, a hybrid mesh-free method based on generalized finite difference (GFD) and Newmark finite difference (NFD) methods is presented to calculate the velocity of elastic wave propagation in functionally graded materials (FGMs). The physical domain to be considered is a thick hollow cylinder made of functionally graded material in which mechanical properties are graded in the radial direction only. A power-law variation of the volume fractions of the two constituents is assumed for mechanical property variation. The cylinder is excited by shock loading to obtain the time history of the radial displacement. The velocity of elastic wave propagation in functionally graded cylinder is calculated from periodic behavior of the radial displacement in time domain. The effects of various grading patterns and various constitutive mechanical properties on the velocity of elastic wave propagation in functionally graded cylinders are studied in detail. Numerical results demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed method in simulating the wave propagation in FGMs.     

Thermo-elastic/plastic semi-analytical solution of incompressible functionally graded spherical pressure vessel under thermo-mechanical loading

In this paper, numerical solutions to assess partially plastic and fully plastic deformation behavior of a functionally graded spherical pressure vessel are presented. The modulus of elasticity of the material is assumed to vary nonlinearly in the radial direction and axisymmetric displacements and stresses in the functionally graded spherical vessel subjected to thermal loading and uniform internal pressure are determined using plasticity theory. Tresca??s yield criterion and its associated flow rule are used to formulate different plastic regions for an ideal FG material. In this way, the material property varies by Young??s modulus that may be an arbitrary function of the radial coordinate. Therefore, the material is assumed to be functionally graded in the radial direction. Hence, the general analytical solutions of such equations are not available, the numerical method (semi-analytical) is applied and a new collection of equilibrium equations with small deflections is presented. Accordingly, the radial domain is divided into some virtual sub-domains in which the power-law distribution is used for the thermomechanical properties of the elemental components. By considering the necessary continuity conditions between adjacent sub-domains, jointly with the global boundary conditions, a set of linear differential equations is obtained. Solution of the linear differential equations yields the thermoelastic responses for each sub-domain as exponential functions of the radial coordinate. Subsequently, attributed to centrifugal force, results for the stress, strain, and displacement components along the radius in elastic and plastic area are presented.

In this paper, the reliability analysis and safety evaluation of dynamic stresses are presented for Al–Al₂O₃ functionally graded (FG) thick hollow cylinder subjected to sudden unloading as a mechanical shock loading.

The FG cylinder is divided to many linear functionally graded elements across thickness of cylinder and hybrid numerical method (Galerkin finite element and Newmark finite difference methods) along with the Monte Carlo simulation are employed to solve the statistical problem. The reliability of radial and hoop stresses are calculated in various points across thickness for different grading patterns in functionally graded material (FGM) and several yield stresses. The variability of the dynamic stress reliability of the FG cylinder to the values of coefficients of variation (COVs) is examined and discussed in details.

Finally, the effects of boundary conditions, power law index, plate thickness, annularity and sector angle on the critical buckling temperature of functionally graded annular sector plates are discussed in details.
