Abstract

We apply integral transformation techniques to study thermoelastic response of a semi infinite hollow cylinder, in general in which sources are generated according to the linear function of the temperature, with boundary conditions of the radiation type. The results are obtained as series of Bessel functions. Numerical calculations are carried out for a particular case of a cylinder made of Aluminum metal and the results are depicted in figures.

Keywords

Introduction

Nowacki [1] has determined steady-state thermal stresses in a thick circular plate subjected to an axisymmetric temperature distribution on the upper face with zero temperature on the lower face and circular edge. Wankhede [9] has determined the quasi-static thermal stresses in circular plate subjected to arbitrary initial temperature on the upper face with lower face at zero temperature. However, there aren’t many investigations on transient state. Roy Choudhuri [8] has succeeded in determining the quasi-static thermal stresses in a circular plate subjected to transient temperature along the circumference of circular upper face with lower face at zero temperature and the fixed circular edge thermally insulated. In a recent work, some problems have been solved by Noda, et al. [5] and Deshmukh, et al. [1] . In all aforementioned investigations, an axisymmetrically heated plate has been considered. Nasser [6,7] proposed the concept of heat sources in generalized thermoelasticity and applied to a thick plate problem. They have not however considered any thermoelastic problem with boundary conditions of radiation type, in which sources are generated according to the linear function of the temperatures, which satisfies the time-dependent heat conduction equation.
This paper is concerned with the transient thermoelastic problem of a finite length hollow cylinder in which sources are generated according to the linear function of temperature, occupying the space , where with radiation type boundary conditions.
The success of this novel research mainly lies in the new mathematical procedures with much simpler approach for optimization for the design in terms of material usage and performance in engineering problem, particularly in the determination of thermoelastic behaviour in cylinder engaged as the foundation of pressure vessels, furnaces, etc.

Statement of the Problem

Consider a semi infinite hollow cylinder in which sources are generated according to the linear function of temperature. The material of the cylinder is isotropic, homogenous and all properties are assumed to be constant. Heat conduction with internal heat source and the prescribed boundary conditions of the radiation type, the quasi-static thermal stresses are required to be determined. The equation for heat conduction is the temperature, in cylindrical coordinates, is:



Where is the internal source function and , being the thermal conductivity of the material, is the density and is the calorific capacity, assumed to be constant. For convenience, we consider the undergiven functions as the superposition of the simpler function [2] :



and





or for the sake of simplicity, we consider



Substituting equations (2.2) and (2.3) to the heat conduction equation (2.1), one obtains



where is the thermal diffusivity of the material of the cylinder (which is assumed to be constant), subject to the initial and boundary conditions











The most general expression for these conditions can be given by

The displacement functions in the cylindrical coordinate system are represented by the Goodier’s thermoelastic displacement potential f and Michell’s function M as [6]





In which Goodier’s thermoelastic potential must satisfy the equation



and the Michell’s function M must satisfy the equation

The component of the stresses are represented by the use of the potential and Michell’s function M as









Where and are the shear modulus and Poisson’s ratio respectively.
The equations (2.1) to (2.20) constitute the mathematical formulation of the problem under consideration.

Solution of the Problem

In order to solve fundamental differential equation (2.4) under the boundary condition (2.6), we firstly introduce the integral transform [3] of order n over the variable r. Let n be the parameter of the transform, then the integral transform and its inversion theorem are written as





Where is the transform of with respect to nucleus .

Applying the transform defined in equation (3.1) to the equations (2.3) to (2.5) and (2.7) and taking into account equation (2.6), one obtains











Where is the transformed function of and is the transform parameter. The eigenvalues are the positive roots of the characteristic equation



The kernel function can be defined as



With

in which and are Bessel functions of first and second kind of order respectively.
We introduce another integral transform [2] that responds to the boundary conditions of type (2.7):





Further applying the transform defined in equation (3.7) to the equations (3.2), (3.3) and (3.5) and using equation (3.4) one obtains







where is the transformed function of and is the transform parameter.
After performing some calculations on equation (3.8) and using equation (3.5), the reduction is made to linear first order differential equation as



Where ,

and



The general solution of equation (26) is a function



Using equations (3.4) in equation (3.7), we obtain the values of arbitrary constants C. Substituting these values in (3.7) one obtains the transformed temperature solution as



Applying inversion theorems of transformation rules defined in equations (2.17) to the equation (3.8), there results



and then accomplishing inversion theorems of transformation rules defined in equations (3.2) on equation (3.9), the temperature solution is shown as follows:





Where

Taking into account the first equation of equation (2.3), the temperature distribution is finally represented by





The function given in equation (3.11) represents the temperature at every instant and at all points of finite hollow cylinder of finite height when there are conditions of radiation type.

Determination of Thermoelastic Displacement

Referring to the fundamental equation (2.1) and its solution (3.16) for the heat conduction problem, the solution for the displacement function are represented by the Goodier’s thermoelastic displacement potential governed by equation (2.11) are represented by





Similarly, the solution for Michell’s function M are assumed so as to satisfy the governed condition of equation (2.12) as





In this manner two displacement functions in the cylindrical coordinate system f and M are fully formulated. Now, in order to obtain the displacement components, we substitute the values of thermoelastic displacement potential and Michell’s function M in equations (2.9) and (2.10), one obtains









Thus, making use of the two displacement components, the dilation is established as
Then, the stress components can be evaluated by substituting the values of thermoelastic displacement potential from equation (3.12) and Michell’s function M from equation (3.13) in equations







(2.13) to (2.16), one obtains























Special Case

Set



Substituting the value of equation (5.2) into equation (3.15) to (4.9), one obtains the expressions for the temperature and stresses respectively as follows:

Numerical Results, Discussion and Remarks

To interpret the numerical computations, we consider material properties of Aluminum metal, which can be commonly used in both, wrought and cast forms. The low density of aluminum results in its extensive use in the aerospace industry and in other transportation fields. Its resistance to corrosion leads to its use in food and chemical handling (cookware, pressure vessels, etc.) and to architectural uses [Table-1]
The foregoing analysis are performed by setting the radiation coefficients constants, and , so as to obtain considerable mathematical simplicities. The other parameters considered are r0 = 2.5, z0 = 1. The derived numerical results from equation (43) to (47) has been illustrated graphically (refer [Fig-2] to [Fig-5] ) with available additional sectional heat on its flat surface at z = 1.
[Fig-1] shows the temperature distribution along the radial and thickness direction of the finite hollow cylinder at t = 0.25. It is observed that due to the thickness of the cylinder, a steep increase in temperature was found at the beginning of the transient period. As expected, temperature drop becomes more and more gradually along thickness direction. It is also observed that, without internal heat source, magnitude of temperature gradient decreases.
[Fig-2] shows the radial stress distribution srr along the radial and thickness direction of the finite hollow cylinder at t =0.25. From the figure, the location of points of minimum stress occurs at the end points through-the-thickness direction, while the thermal stress response are maximum at the interior and so that outer edges tends to expand more than the inner surface leading inner part being under tensile stress.
[Fig-3] shows the tangential stress distribution sqq along the radial and thickness direction of the finite hollow cylinder at t =0.25. The tangential stress follows a sinusoidal nature with high crest and troughs at both end i.e. r = 1 and r = 4.
[Fig-4] shows the axial stress distribution szz, which is similar in nature, but small in magnitude as compared to radial stress component.
[Fig-5] shows the shear stress distribution srz along the radial and thickness direction of the finite hollow cylinder at t =0.25. Shear stress also follows more sine waveform with high pecks and troughs along the radial direction at r = 1 and r = 4, but minimum at the center part along thickness direction.
In order for the solution to be meaningful the series expressed in equation (43) should converge for all and . The temperature equation (43) can be expressed as

(48)

We impose conditions so that converge in some generalized sense to as in the transform domain. Taking into account of the asymptotic behaviors of and [2,3] it is observed that the series expansion for will be theoretically convergent due to the bounded functions.
As convergence of the series for implies convergence for all at any value of z. An exact solution requires use of infinite number of terms in the equations. The effects of truncating of terms are brought out by the comparison table for solutions of different functions for 5 and 10 terms. For the convergence test of the present method, we calculate the temperature values at the point r = 4, z =1 with different time for 5 terms and 10 terms, as shown in the [Table-2] .

Conclusion

In this study, we treated the two-dimensional thermoelastic problem of a finite hollow cylinder in which sources are generated according to the linear function of the temperature. We successfully established and obtained the temperature distribution, displacements and stress functions with additional sectional heat, available at the edge of the cylinder. Then, in order to examine the validity of two-dimensional thermoelastic boundary value problem, we analyze, as a particular case with mathematical model for and numerical calculations were carried out. Moreover, assigning suitable values to the parameters and functions in the equations of temperature, displacements and stresses respectively, expressions of special interest can be derived for any particular case. We may conclude that the system of equations proposed in this study can be adapted to design of useful structures or machines in engineering applications in the determination of thermoelastic behavior with radiation.
