Transient stress and deformation analysis of a shear deformable FG rotating cylindrical shell made of AL-SIC subjected to thermo-mechanical loading.

Transient stress and deformation analysis of a functionally graded rotating cylinder made of Al-Sic with short length under thermal and mechanical loads is studied in this paper. It is assumed that the cylinder is located on a friction bed and is subjected to an external torque. The material property is assumed to be variable along the radial direction based on volume fraction distribution. Thermal conductivity equation with time parameter is solved to obtain temperature distribution by Finite Difference Method. First-order shear deformation theory is used to derive kinematic relations. The governing equations are derived using minimum total potential energy and Euler relations. These governing equations are solved using the method of Eigenvalue and Eigenvector. The physical and loading boundary conditions are applied to obtain unknown coefficients. As the main result of this paper, it is concluded that the radial displacement is uniform at the middle of a cylindrical shell and is decreased to zero with an increase of axial coordinate.
