Thermo-Elastic Analysis of Clamped-Clamped Thick FGM Cylinders by Using Third-Order Shear Deformation Theory
Abstract Using the third-order shear deformation theory (TSDT), an analytical solution for deformations and stresses of axisymmetric clamped-clamped thick cylindrical shells made of functionally graded material (FGM) subjected to internal pressure and thermal loading are presented. The material properties are graded along the radial direction according to power functions of the radial direction. It is assumed that Poisson's ratio is constant across the cylinder thickness. The differential equations governing were generally derived, making use of TSDT. Following that, the set of non-homogenous linear differential equations for the cylinder with clamped-clamped ends was solved, and the effect of loading and supports on the stresses and displacements was investigated. The problem was also solved, using the finite element method (FEM), and the results of which were compared with those of the analytical method. Furthermore, the effect of increases in the temperature gradient on displacement and stress values has been studied. Finally, in order to investigate the effect of third-order approximations on displacements and stresses, a comparison between the results of first- and third-order shear deformation theory has been made.
