Computer Implementation of the Drbem for Studying the Classical Coupled Thermoelastic Responses of Functionally Graded Anisotropic Plates

Abstract

A numerical computer model based on the dual reciprocity boundary element method (DRBEM) is extended to study the generalized thermoelastic responses of functionally graded anisotropic rotating plates. In the case of plane deformation, a predictor-corrector implicit-explicit time integration algorithm was developed and implemented for use with the DRBEM to obtain the solution for the displacement and temperature fields in the context of the classical coupled thermo-elasticity theory. Numerical results that demonstrate the validity of the proposed method are also presented in the tables.
