Creep behavior of thick-walled functionally graded cylinder consisting of AlSiC and subjected to internal pressure and high temperature has been analyzed. The functional relationship between strain rate with stress can be described by the well known threshold stress based creep law with a stress exponent of five. The effect of imposing non-linear particle gradient on the distribution of creep s...

The objective of this paper is to provide guidance for the design of the thick-walled cylinder made up of transversely isotropic material so that collapse of cylinder due to influence of internal and external pressure can be avoided. The concept of transition theory based on Lebesgue strain measure has been used to simplify the constitutive equations. Results have been analyzed theoretically an...

Thermal stress analysis of a thick-walled cylinder reinforced with functionally graded (FG) single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) is considered in radial direction. Thick-walled cylinder is subjected to a thermal field. Two layouts of variations in the volume fraction of SWCNTs were considered in the composite cylinder along the radius from inner to outer surface, where their names are increm...

The rate at which fluid drains from a collapsing channel or crack depends on the interaction between the elastic properties of the solid and the fluid flow. The same interaction controls the rate at which a pressurized fluid can flow into a crack. In this paper, we present an analysis for the interaction between the viscous flow and the elastic field associated with an expanding or collapsing f...

In the present paper, an exact solution for transient response of an infinitely long functionally graded thick-walled cylinder subjected to dynamic pressures at the boundary surfaces is presented for arbitrary initial conditions. The cylinder is assumed to have a plane-strain condition and the dynamic pressures are assumed to be imposed uniformly and axis...

The integrity assessment to evaluate the safety margin of reactor pressure vessels (RPV) often considers only crack initiation and excludes propagation analysis. This contribution focuses on analysis in RPV steels. eXtended Finite Element (XFEM) method implemented ABAQUS is applied a thick-walled cylindrical specimen with circumferential at inner surface order simulate embrittled subjected Pres...

electro-thermo-elastic stress analysis of piezoelectric polymeric thick-walled cylinder reinforced by boronnitride nanotubes (bnnts) subjected to electro-thermo-mechanical fields is presented in this article. the electro-thermo-elastic properties of piezoelectric fiber reinforced composite (pefrc) was studied by a modified xy micromechanical model capable of exhibiting full coupling relation be...
