THERMOELASTIC STRESSES IN FUNCTIONALLY GRADED ROTATING ANNULAR DISKS WITH VARIABLE THICKNESS

摘要

This article presents semi-analytical solutions for stress distributions in exponentially and functionally graded rotating annular disks with arbitrary thickness variations. The disk is under pressure on its boundary surfaces and exposed to temperature distribution varying linearly across thickness. Material properties are supposed to be graded in the radial direction of the disk and obeying to two different forms of distribution of volume fraction of constituents. Different conditions at boundaries for stresses and displacement are discussed. Accurate and efficient solutions for displacement and stresses in rotating annular disks are determined using infinitesimal theory. Numerical results are carried out and discussed for different cases. It can be deduced that the gradient of material properties and thickness variation as well as the change of temperature sources have a specific effect in modern applications.
