MAGNETOTHERMOELASTIC INTERACTION IN AN AEOLOTROPIC SOLID CYLINDER SUBJECTED TO A RAMP-TYPE HEATING

The present theoretical study is concerned with the generation of stress and magnetic fields in a solid cylindrical continuum subjected to a ramp-type heating on its surface when the cylinder and its adjoining vacuum is subjected to a uniform axial magnetic field. The perturbed magnetic field induced in the free space surrounding the cylinder is also analysed. The material of the cylinder is supposed to be anisotropic both mechanically and thermally. Numerical values of the stress and temperature at various points of the cylindrical medium at different instants of time as well as those of the magnetic field in the surrounding free space are computed for an appropriate material for the purpose of illustration.
