Axisymmetric Mechanical and Thermal Stresses in Thick Long FGM Cylinders

Abstract

The analysis of axisymmetric mechanical and thermal stresses for a long hollow cylinder made of functionally graded material, as functions of radial and longitudinal directions, is developed. The material properties are graded along the radial direction according to power functions of radial direction. The temperature and Navier equations are solved analytically, using the generalized Bessel function and complex form of Fourier integral. A direct method of solution of Navier equations is presented, rather than potential functions method.
