A heuristic is proposed for a problem that occurs in the design of thick composite cylinders: the selection of the angles of wrap of all the layers forming a cylinder for given material properties and layer thicknesses. The heuristic consists of a local search algorithm that improves on a given initial design by modifying the angle of a single layer in each iteration. Each design is evaluated b...

We consider a quasilinear parabolic boundary-value problem in a two-level thick junction Ωε of type 3 : 2 : 2, which is the union of a cylinder Ω0 and a large number of ε-periodically situated thin discs with variable thickness. Different Robin boundary conditions with perturbed parameters are given on the surfaces of the thin discs. The leading terms of the asymptotic expansion are constructed...

In this study, the mechanical behaviours of thick-walled hollow functionally graded material (FGM) cylinder subjected to uniform pressures at inner and outer surfaces are proposed. The FGM has variable geometric profile, thickness properties like elastic modulus mass density all assumed vary radially according exponentially-varying functions in radial direction. With help infinitesimal elastici...

AbstraetA new method is developed, analogous to a hodograph method, for the nonlinear finite strain and stress analysis of thick-waged cylinders and spheres under internal and external pressure. The problem is reduced to solving a single ordinary differential equation of the first order. It is applicable to plastic or elastic materials. The case of porous cylinder with fluid seepage is also dis...

In this article, the problem of time-dependent stress redistribution of a piezomagnetic rotating thick-walled cylinder under an axisymmetric hygro-thermo-magneto-electro-mechanical loading is analyzed analytically for the condition of plane strain. Using the constitutive equations, a differential equation is found in which there are creep strains. Primarily, eliminating creep strains, an analyt...

The object of the present paper is to study temperature distribution and thermal stresses of a functionally graded thick hollow cylinder with temperature dependent material properties. All the material properties except Poisson’s ratio are assumed to be dependent on temperature. The nonlinear heat conduction with temperature dependent thermal conductivity and specific heat capacity is reduced t...

The object of the present paper is to study heat conduction and thermal stresses in a hollow cylinder with nonhomogeneous material properties. The cylinder is subjected to sectional heating at the curved surface. All the material properties except for Poisson’s ratio and density are assumed to be given by a simple power law in the axial direction. A solution of the two-dimensional heat conducti...
