Transient thermal stress analysis of a functionally graded magneto-electro-thermoelastic strip due to nonuniform surface heating

摘要

This article is concerned with the theoretical analysis of the functionally graded magneto-electro-thermoelastic strip due to unsteady and nonuniform surface heating in the width direction. We analyze the transient thermal stress problem for a functionally graded strip constructed of the anisotropic and linear magneto-electro-thermoelastic materials using a laminated composite mode as one of theoretical approximation. The transient two-dimensional temperature is analyzed by the methods of Laplace and finite sine transformations. We obtain the solution for the simply supported and functionally graded magneto-electro-thermoelastic strip under a plane strain state. As an illustration, we carried out numerical calculations for a functionally graded strip composed of piezoelectric BaTiO_3 and magnetostrictive CoFe_2O_4, and examined the behaviors in the transient state for temperature change, stress, electric potential and magnetic potential distributions. Furthermore, the effects of the nonhomogeneity of material on the stresses, electric potential, and magnetic potential are investigated.
